I made these for my cookie tray and they tasted so good. I didn't think I could make it out the door with them. They have the perfect amount of lemon flavoring. Everyone commented on how wonderful they were. Refreshing, would be the word

A great cookie! Was looking for a new addition to my Christmas cookie selection and decided to give this a try since I really like lemon flavored desserts. They baked up perfectly! Instead of rolling the cookies in powdered sugar, I placed the powdered sugar into my sifter and just sifted it over the cookies on the cooling rack. If you like lemon, they're worth a try!
