Would make this again.
I also used lemon peel, and baked 12 minutes... they were flavorful and mildly tangy, nice texture... I didn't use extra sugar, and found them moderately sweet without it four stars

Would not make this again.
I made these cookies today and was very disappointed in their taste. They tasted doughy and had a sour aftertaste. I also wonder if they shouldn't have been made with butter instead of shortening. one star
