These were delicious cookies and definitely made five dozen. I really like the taste of the lemon in the cookies. I found that I need way more than 1 tsp of water for the glaze because 1 tsp just barely moistened and clumped it together. But eventually it became the type of glaze I wanted. I found that it really was necessary to grease my baking sheets because of how sticky the cookies were. I even greased my teaspoon! All in all, it was a very good cookie!

We loved the lemon flavor, and the fact they weren't very sweet at all. I had just enough glaze. With the first batch, I just dropped the dough on the cookie sheet, and they baked up like drop biscuits - not very attractive. With the other two batches, I shaped the dough by hand in a ball - and they looked much better! Thanks for sharing your family recipe.
