OH. EM. GEE!!! These cookies are FABULOUS! These are, hands down, my new absolute FAVOURITE recipe, and the one I will turn to any time I EVER have to make Sugar Cookies!!! I made cutout cookies for a Halloween party and they came out crispy and lemony and DELICIOUS! I took pictures of them as they were on the cookie sheet, in the oven and after they baked, and I will post the pictures after I get pics of them frosted! They kept their shapes fairly well, though the bigger cookies tended to fluff up a bit more. They taste almost like those Danish butter cookies you get in the blue tin, but lemony and light! The cookies come out very light in weight; you can eat a bunch before realizing it! I don't even like crunchy cookies. Normally I make sugar cookies for others, but I eat very few of them myself. These ones, though - I have yet to even make the frosting and I've already devoured quite a bit of them! We didn't have problems with the dough sticking to the rolling pin or cutters (we lightly floured them) either. We're going to be whipping up a lemony frosting (whether regular or cream cheese has yet to be decided) and I will post pictures! All in all, though, a pretty much PERFECT cookie recipe!!! With all the people I'm going to be giving these to, I'm going to have to make a second batch!!! Note: In the picture I posted of the stack of containers, the cookies on top are burnt ones, made special for some friends of ours :)
