It is the best I have ever baked and my Family loves them Thanks For Sharing
I tripled the lemon extract for this recipe. In one instance, I added white chocolate chips to make them similar to Panera’s lemon drop cookies.
super good, I actually forgot to chill them and they still worked perfectly! My friends and family also loved them, and a good majority of those people don’t really like non-chocolate desserts.
the cookie is very good. It could have had a bit more lemony flavor, but it was good. I added about one teaspoon of lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.
My husband said, “YES!”
This recipe is perfect the way it is. And the dough freezes very well. Enjoy
Words cannot tell you, humhum good
So simple and light. Great with coffee or tea! Always a crowd please
I liked them fresh out of the oven…just a little crunchy outside, but chewy inside. I did use orange extract instead of lemon, cause that’s what I had on hand (and I like orange more anyway). I did double the amount of extract after reading reviews. I’ll have to try them again after they’ve cooled off and see if they stay soft inside at all. They are simple, but yummy.
I used applesauce instead of all of the butter I use xylitol for the sugar I used lemon juice and almond extract with whole wheat flour healthy and good.
cookies came out small and hard as a rock, the dough needed about 1/8 oil along with the 3/4 c butter. The dough was like a crumble topping cough.l Bad, Bad, Bad!!!! I bake a lot
They were very good. They do bake a bit too big but I guess that’s my fault. I have to make the dough balls smaller. Next time I think I willdouble on the lemon extract. Other wise it was delicious.
Really good. I took the suggestion of another reviewer and added lemon zest. I used fresh squeezed lemon, so I added extra. These are not very sweet, which may be preferable to some. Next time I’ll add another 1/2 c of sugar. Thanks for the recipe!
These cookies are quite yummy! Super easy to make and very lemony! I substituted dark corn syrup for the light because that’s what I had leftover from Thanksgiving pecan pies and I added a tad more lemon extract and the zest of one lemon. I may cut back on the sugar a bit next time since you also roll the cookies in sugar before baking just to suit my preference, but I would highly recommend these cookies. They are going to be great with a hot cup of tea!
Perfect recipe! These lemon cookies turned out to be as good if not better than any lemon cookie you will get at a store! Delicious!
I didn’t have lemon extract so I did the juice and zest that the previous reviewer said. It was great!
The dough turned out watery and there was NO flavor!
This cookie is awesome! I added 1T of lemon ext. as other people suggested! I’m glad I did! Yum
These are delicious simple to make cookies I would double the lemon extract add a pinch of salt but otherwise they are simply delicious chili on the inside with just the right amount of Chris on the exterior I used a simple cookie scoop to make them into the small balls if you’re cooking on convection I recommend about eight minutes cook time
I was locked down at home alone so I made some cookies I followed step by step and ended up with great cookies. They made really big cookies. I had to add one minute to the timer. Very tasty cookies.
I made this as directed and they were good.
