The cookies are delicious I did use the zest of two lemons since we like an 8ntense lemon flavor in things.

Great! Nice and soft too. I added a lot more lemon juice and a dash of lemon extract so it has a good lemon flavor

Quite lovely and yummy or my first go! Next time, I will need to make some adjustments for my oven and I think I added slightly too much flour.

instructions were super easy. my cookies came out perfect. the only thing I would do different is zest the whe lemon then squeeze the whole lemon too. I only did half of the lemon (1 tbsp) and i wished they were more lemony, but thats just personal taste.

I did the step by step exactly as told which wad very easy to follow. However, the cookies came out flat and covered the whole tray! Didn't stay in shape at all. Tasted lovely all the same...
