Would not make this again.
Recipe was easy enough, but cookies spread out so thin while baking that I couldn't get them off the sheet in one piece. I followed directions precisely...broken pieces tasted good..but can't serve those to my guests.

These were easy and delicious. It was my first time using a cookie press, so I was looking for something simple. The directions are very clear. I iced them with a lemony glaze and colorful sprinkles. The hardest part is eating them in moderation!

My grandmother used to make these 40 yrs ago! Her recipe is slightly different. We press the chill the dough and flatten the cookies out. She made sandwich cookies and put the frosting in the middle. I recommend Fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.

These were accually good. I thought they wouldn't be as good as everyone was saying because you know how these days, everyone lies. I would truely recomed you try these especially if you like the smell of a freshly grated lemon for the lemon zest. The recipe says 1 tsp of lemon zest for the cookies, but I thought it didn't sound like enough so I put in about 2 tsp or 2 1/2. It wasn't overpowering lemon flavor at all. So I highly recomend you put in more lemon so you can accually taste it. ~Enjoy~ Thank you for your time. ^-^
