Reviews
Not much lemon flavor they were just bland. They were a nice soft cookie.
While I liked the favor of the cookie, next time I would: 1) double the recipe. I barely got 18 cookies out of this and 2) I would put a lemon glaze on it to give it that “kick”. Good basic recipe though.
very good there are only 8.4 carbs per cookie so my diabetic husband can enjoy them.
These cookies are very soft and not too sweet. My toothless Dad loved them. I did not use the lemon extract but I might add some next time just to see the difference but I didn’t use it this time.
Excellent lemon cookies! Soft and chewy! Jay loves them!!
Great texture and taste.
Light and airy. My family loved them. I added an egg for a cake like texture. I did not use lemon extract, instead I substituted orange zest. I frosted them with a drizzle of powdered sugar with the juice of the orange.
3.26.20 Accurately described as “cake like,” and that’s a good thing! They are soft, moist, and lemony, a hit in this house.
