These turned out very good - light, moist and buttery. It may have been the cocoa I used, but I didn't think they were so very chocolaty, but that is fine with me. They were also extremely easy to make. I beat the egg and sugar with an hand electric mixer until very thick. The color became quite light, and didn't really remind me of lemons, but it seemed to work in the end. I enjoyed making these, and I'm sure my family will love eating them. My molds were a little big - I halved the recipe, and should have gotten 18, but got 12. I also baked them longer. I lined the molds with baking paper. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.

I'm a self-taught home cook who reads cookbooks like a novel. Then I try out all different nationalities of recipes, especially the more complicated ones...I love a challenge! I entertain often and enjoy cooking for others more than for myself. If my friends and family are happy eating my cooking, then I'm ecstatic!
