Simple, delicious recipe. Of course I had to mess with it. I used 1/3 cup butter and omitted the shortening. I doubled the lemon juice and zest, and added 1/3 cup blueberries. The blueberries should have made up for the lost volume from the shortening, but I only ended up with 20 cookies. I'll make the balls on the small side next time! These held up great in the fridge and had a lovely texture. YUM!

Just made these cookies to put in lunches tomorrow......YUM!!! We all had to try them tonight and I think I'll be making more VERY SOON!! The only thing I did differently was added 1/2 tsp lemon extract instead of the Lemon zest, only because I didn't have any lemons. But it was still VERY YUMMY!! Thanks for this recipe!! It was Easy AND Yummy.
