These cookies were good, however a bit time-consuming to make. I used fresh squeezed lemon juice and followed the directions. I was unable to make my cookies as uniform as the beautiful photos as I found the dough to be crumbly even after leaving it in the fridge. UPDATE: My friends and coworkers gave these cookies such amazing reviews for taste I felt that my dough issues were not relevant and this recipe clearly deserves 5 stars!!!

Liked it but way too sweet. The cookies fell apart in some instances, and even though the filling smelled great and looked great it added loads to the sweetness factor.

Glitter, these buttery, little wonders just melted away in your mouth, with an explosion of lemon flavor! they are SO yummy. I had this recipe in my cookbook just calling out to make it, DH and DS just love lemons, so this is definately one big hit with them LOL! The filling in this recipe was just so yummy, I am now thinking of other different ways to use it. These cookies are definately worth making, oh, I used more than 4-1/2 tsp of fresh lemon juice, something like 2 Tbsp for a more intense lemon flavor ... thanks so much Glitter for sharing another winner, I just love your recipes!...Kitten

A great cookie and a wonderful lemon treat. I guess my 1" balls are larger than yours as I only got 21 servings! I'm going to tuck these away in the freezer before the two of us devour them. This will be a new cookie on my Christmas tray. Have you ever tried a raspberry filling?
