Very good. I found them a bit crumbly, but that is likely because I softened the butter too much. :-) On the bright side, it meant I could just squish them into little circles and bypass the rolling and cutting! I also squeezed a little extra lemon juice in there and sprinkled with powder sugar... shhhh. ;-)

I think it would of been better using the grams. I had to guess at the 3 7/8 ounces LOL and I was using a scale LOL. But they turned out . Very delicate and crisp cookie. I topped them with a lemon frosting for extra lemon zip. I like that they make a small batch . Could you repost the recipe with the grams ?? I will make these again. Made for Everyday is a Holiday

I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
