Wow! these are amazing. I'm not really a dessert person, but these are amazing! They are not too sweet, and the lemon element is delicious! Two thumbs up!

    This was a great (and simple) recipe. I baked the cookies and brought them to my church last night for refreshments. Everyone loved them, and I brought the big plate home empty

    These were lovely little cookies and we really enjoyed the understated lemon flavor. I ended up with 17 cookies, which was plenty as a light dessert for the four of us. Ifound they were more delicate when they were warm from the oven. After the first batch was done, I made the mistake of trying to immediately take them off the cookie sheet. They really wanted to break apart taking them off the sheet so quickly. I found that they were easier to remove from the sheet without breaking if I cooled them a bit first. Thank you for sharing the delicious cookie recipe. Made for ZWTIII
