This recipe was given to me years ago while visiting an aunt in Iowa. It is so easy that even my sister who can't bake to save her life, got them to turn out.

This recipe is quick and easy and the cookies are very good; however I wanted CRISP cookies and these were not. The only change I made to the recipe is that I used butter instead of shortening because I don't cook with shortening anymore. Read More

They're edible but I couldn't get past the artificial lemon flavor. Read More

This recipe was completely scrumptious!!! I added lemon extract to make it extra lemony!! My whole family loved it and it was gone with the hour!! I had to make a second batch that day to satisfy everyone!! I found if you drop them by the tablespoon they're extra soft and yummy!! i also garnished with a little powdered sugar like suggested and they looked great too!! Read More

I tried these as written and thought they were a little less lemony than I was expecting. Once I glazed them they were fantastic! Read More

These are really good and really soft - my mom (lemon lover) loved them. Tastes artificial so don't be expecting that homemade taste. Really good though. Read More

Delicious lemony flavor!! However I prefer thicker chewier cookies and these spread quite thin during baking. I solved this problem by refrigerating the dough and then rolling it into balls. A quick coating of powdered sugar doesn't hurt either! Read More

Nice subtle lemon flavor. Could ball dough roll in sugar and use cookie press for a fancier presentation. Read More
