The cookies themselves were kind of dry... The dough was crumbly and hard to work with, but I put it in the freezer for a while and that helped. I iced them with a lemon icing (2 cups powdered sugar, a few T. lemon juice to taste) and they were pretty good. I don't think the cookies would have been nearly as good without the glaze.

I wanted an easy cookie recipe to try out in my brand spanking new convection oven, and...WOW. This is one of the easiest cookies I've ever made. Since everything goes in the food processor, it went together very fast. The only change I made was to add the zest of two lemons for a little more flavor. THUMBS UP for a wonderful summertime cookie recipe, already a classic favorite!
