I was given this recipe for Old Fashions Tea Cakes some 33+ years ago, from my neighbors mom. She had MANY children, and this recipe makes MANY cookies. I usually roll out the dough for cut-out cookies to bake and frost. But for Valentines Day, I wanted something different.

I received this recipe years ago from an elderly lady (98 years old) of 12 children. She had 4 sets of twins. She was a gentle soul and loved to cook and feed people. I met her at a birthday party for one of her great grands, we got to talking about baking and I told her about a cookie that my great granny used to make, but no one knew the recipe. A few days later, she sent her daughter to deliver THE COOKIE recipe, she called them TEA CAKES. This is my go-to recipe for rollout cookies. It makes ALOT! #ChristmasGift

#ILOVECHOCOLATEMy husband likes to eat cake usually with evening tea so i made different types of tea cakes so first tine i tried this yummlicious marble cake

It's too easy to make. Loved it!

These cakes are like very puffy and light cookies, traditionally served with afternoon tea -but they're delicious as a dessert too! With a creamy lemon flavor these will become your favorite summertime snack!
