I liked this recipe although I didn't have lemon flavored yogurt but used plain instead and added another teaspoon of lemon juice. I'll definitely make this again. Read More

These cookies were indeed soft but their subtle flavor left much to be desired. I suggest adding an additional teaspoon of lemon extract and maybe some frosting to boost the flavor. Read More

These are definitely very cakey and moist and very ideal for having with a cup of tea or coffee. After reading what others had to say I dropped the oil and used butter instead and I also omitted the lemon juice and opted for 3 t. of lemon extract instead. I still used the zest though- there is no sub for that! Not the best cookie I've ever had but decent and with potential! Read More

I had fun w/ this recipe! I used part yogurt and part sour cream as that's what I had in the fridge. I cut the oil a bit and added more juice (I used bottled lime juice) and I omitted the zest as I had none. The batter is thicker than cake but thinner than cookie so I put 1/8 C batter in muffin tins lined w/ paper muffin cups added 1 1/2 tsp cherry jam than another 1/8 C batter. I baked for 25 min @ 375' and I'm delighted w/ the turnout! I'm sending overseas w/ a can of cherry frosting. Fabulous! Thinking of adding chopped cranberries next time. Read More

I have not used this recipe as written... After reading all the reviews I made the following changes: Used a touch extra baking soda and powder added extra lemon extract and juice (probably about double what was written) plus a few Tbsp. rum and a few drops vanilla (I like lots of flavor) 1/4 cup room temp butter and 1&1/2 Tbsp oil replaced 1/2 cup regular sugar with 3/4 cup powdered sugar but that exchange was out of necessity I ran out of sugar! It is a light cakey type cookie and still could use a few adjustments... But I was looking for a lemony cookie that would still be soft after a week in the mail and from experience the cake like cookies are some of the best for that. Read More

I made these for a tea party and they were all that was left. Too soft too cake-y and boring flavor. You might as well spoon lemon cake mix onto a cookie sheet and bake. It would be a lot easier and taste just the same. I'm deleting this from my recipe box so I make sure not to make it again. Read More
