Notes: One of my strong childhood memories was to go with my mother to Swenson Bakery shop on Main Street in Vermilion, Ohio. It was full of wonderful smells and interesting people. The owner/baker was always dressed in a white work uniform and covered in flour. I would see him walk from the back to the big roll top desk behind the counter. He never waited on customers. That was his wife's job. One of my favorite treats was their sugar cookie which had a lemon flavor. I have recreated this cookie here but the addition of pecans and dried cranberries is my own spin on the recipe. Enjoy!
