The cookies are ready for [in-store bakeries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otis-spunkmeyer-caddy-packs) where they can be easily prepared for fresh, [citrus-flavored treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-macaroons) that don't require additional steps to be prepared by employees. The cookies can, however, be prepared in different desserts for a new item that stores can stock. The cookies thus serve as the basis for the Lemon Cookies with Almond, Lemon-Coconut Cookies, Layered Lemon Cookie Cake and the Lemon Burst Cookies with Chocolate & Coconut. Otis Spunkmeyer Lemon Burst Cookies come in a three-ounce version to suit in-store bakery needs and are crafted with real lemon essence.
