If you like ginger cookies, you'll LOVE this recipe and if you don't like ginger cookies, this may be the recipe that changes your mind. I followed the recipe exactly, except for a repeated suggestion from many reviews, to substitute orange juice for the water. By rolling the uncooked ball of dough in sugar, it produces a crackly exterior that seems to really highlight the soft and chewy interior. I also opted to make a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, which I drizzled over the cooled cookie. Perfect. This will be integrated into my Christmas cookie lineup.

Wow, this is an excellent recipe for lemon cookies! I followed the recipe exactly and decided to follow the suggestion of rolling the ball of uncooked dough in sugar. After baking and tasting the cookie, I then decided to follow the other suggestion of making a glaze with fresh lemon juice and drizzling it over the cooled cookies. Bingo! Thats the winning combo! The sugar gives it a slightly crackly texture, and the glaze gives it that additional zing of lemon. This recipe is a keeper.
