i always check and double check what i am doing and i found the cookies dry and the filling to be runny, even though I had cooked it for over 45 minutes, and this at a reasonable heat.

I think these are very good cookies. I followed previous suggestions and added 2 Tablespoon lemon juice to the batter to receive the desired consistency,rolled the dough into logs and then chilled for one hour. FYI - using a makeshift double boiler (stainless steel bowl on top of a saucepan with 1" water) I stirred for 25 minutes until receiving the correct consistency of the filling. It was my first sandwich cookie. I definitely tasted the lemon in full force which was my desired outcome. Thanks for the recipe - will make them again time permitting.

Disappointed:( my goal is to try all the recipes on the Christmas Cookie Countdown,,these taste good but not practical, like other reviewers the filling was "wierd", runny making the cookie kind of messy, I had a lot of filling leftover, I wanted cookies that I can freeze, and these ones keep sliding apart, I put into a container to freeze for later, hoping they come out more stuck together....???

No flavor! I kept adding things to the cookie (more lemon peel, vanilla, powdered sugar). Was not a hit here. Sorry!

Good butter cookie recipe. I was looking for something a lot lighter. You might want to consider halving the recipe. I did not have any trouble getting it to thicken even though I used a makeshift double boiler- a stainless steel bowl inside a wok of boiling water. Not the safest arrangement but it worked. I loved the lemon but it was a little runny as a filling. Rolling the cookies as thin as possible is key since you still want to have a strong lemon flavor. I ended up using the lemon as more of a dip for the cookies. I wonder if it would be good to add powdered sugar to the lemon and make it more of a light frosting?

I reall liked these cookies a lot. However I had a hard time like others, getting the middle to thicken. I ended up just refrigerating them so that it was a bit firmer. I may try a creamy lemon frosting the next time.

Tasty, but it would have been too much to make sandwiches. I poured the filling over the cookies like a glaze.

Very good, The only reason i am giving it four stars is because the filling took me forever but i will always make these again. I made them with limes and they were SO good!!

I give the cookies 5 stars. They were delicious and easy to work with. However, I give the filling just 1 star. It was way to sweet and weird looking. If I make these cookies again, Im going to use jam or regular frosting instead.

My first time making a sandwich cookie, cause really dont have the patiences. But these ones looks so good, so thought I try them out. Took the advice of other reviewers and added yogurt and lemon juice to the cookie batter, turned out good and buttery. The filling is very runny so I added 3tbsp of corn flour in order to quicken the thickening process. Then I put the filling in the fridge for a while in order to make the filling less hassle. Overall good tasting cookies.... just need time and patiences....

If a traditional wedding cookie shacked up with a lemon bar, this would be the result. I read the conflicting reviews and gave it a shot. I will agree, they were dry, but this type of cookie is suppose to be dry. My main problem was also the runny filling. I have since made them again, and experienced the same thing. My suggestions - if you absolutely can't get it to thicken after 30-45 minutes, whip in some confectioners sugar and put it in the fridge for a few minutes. . . it won't substantially change the taste, just the consistancy. I also srpinkle a little of the same on the top to "dress them up." These would be great for a wedding, spring tea, or similar event, (bake ahead, they are even better on day 2) but are much too time consuming for the everyday. I would give them a 5 for flavor but had to give a 4 due to length of time, difficulty with filling and overall usefullness in my cookie collection.

These are so good, light and lemony. Like the previous reviewer, I rolled my dough into logs and then sliced and baked. I didn't have a fresh lemon for zest, so I used some pure lemon extract in the dough. The lemon curd filling did take a long time to thicken, (15-20 mins. of stirring) but I expected that. My dough wasn't dry at all; I only put 3/4 of the flour in at first, and then added more, little by little, until the dough was a nice consistency.

i am sooo glad i found this recipe!These have to be the best lemon cookies i have ever had!The cookie itself is not very sweet with just a hint of lemon and the filling is sweet and lemony so together there perfect!!To make them a little neater looking i rolled the dough into 2 inch thick logs and sliced them about 1/4 inch thick then i lightly poked the tops with a fork giving it a little design.I DID NOT have any problem with the cookie being dry maby because they were sliced thin and i cooked them till just set so there still soft.I allso added about 1 1/2 cups of powderd suger to the filling to thicken it (some water spilled over in my filling making it to loose) All in all this is a wonderful recipe and it will be a regular in my cookie makeing.Thank you for the recipe!

I tried these cookies for Christmas to try something new. They do have a great lemon flavor, however I also had problems with the filling not thickening up. I had read reviews stating it took a while and to be patient. I stirred for 45 minutes and it was still runny. I eventually ended up stirring in confectioners sugar to thicken it up and used it as frosting. They still tasted good.

I just made these to go into my christmas cookie boxes that I make every year. They aren't bad. But I don't think I will make them again. They are pretty tasty but alot of work. I found the dough very hard to work with but I didn't have any problems with the filling. I just don't think it's worth all the work for just an ok cookie.
