What it is
These are delightful, bite-sized shortbread cookies shaped like little eggs.

The texture is crumbly and buttery, characteristic of good shortbread. The lemon adds a subtle citrus note that complements the rich, sweet base. They come in a convenient package, making them easy to share or enjoy individually.
