These taste great. But I gave it only 3 stars because when I followed the directions exactly and used egg yolk for the egg wash I ended up with a gross looking yellowish green color on top of my cookies. Not for gift giving! Next time I will use milk or egg white.

Good cake but thought it could use some work. My husband and I found it to be a bit too lemony. With so many eggs, I should have known before making it that it would be like a pound cake in taste and texture. Next time I make this I will skip the lemon zest and lemon syrup and just use almond extract. I thought the syrup made it a little mushy in texture instead of moist.
