cookies have good texture, but flavor is lacking, not enough lemon flavor, could taste the salt and baking powder too much. maybe using straight butter might help and putting some lemon peel zest in the dough might help, also try subsituting lemon juice for the milk, i will try these changes next time myself.

This is one of the best recipes I've discovered on this website - love these cookies!! I cook them for a little less than 9 minutes, and use all butter when I make them.

WOW! Crisp and lemon-y just as advertised. I just got done making these and my hubby couldn't stop eating them! I did use all butter as I did not have butter flavored shortening, they still tasted wonderful.

I thought these were really good...I did not use shortening, I used 1 cup butter. They came out crisp on the outside and kind of cakey on the inside, which I love! Great lemony taste. I will make these again!

I, too, used all butter and cut the salt to 1/4 tsp, but these didn't come out crisp at all. Definitely more cake like. Very lemony though, which I loved, but wished these were gooier in the center. Maybe I'll make them again and make some adjustments based on other user's suggestions.

Very nice and not too sweet. I omitted the crisco and used all butter, also I made these with a 2oz scooper to have them large enough to create a well in the center of the dough ball and fill with blueberry pie filling. Great combo! Yes?!

These are 4 1/2 stars. Nice flavor and they did come out crispy. Make sure you flatten the cookies before baking because they do not spread at all. I followed the recipe exactly.

Yummy! I only had one tsp of extract, so I added an additional tsp of zest and they are light, fresh and tasty!

These are a good cookie but to use for cut our cookies I had to kneed about 1/4 extra flour because the dough was so soft. I would have liked an extra teaspoon of lemon extract for a more lemon flavor. I also added the zest of 1 sm. lemon.

These were OK. I didn't think they were anything to write home about. You know how sometimes you have a taste for something specific? This recipe was not it.

These are some of the best cookies I've ever tasted, and my kids agreed! Ours turned out pretty crispy with just the centers being soft. We added 1/2 tsp. butter flavored extract, and the zest of one whole lemon to boost the flavor, and then rolled the balls in sugar before pressing flat with a glass. They tasted lemony and delicious. This is a new favorite!

Made even better with the following adj. additional 1/4 cup sugar, used butter only,1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp lemon extract and zest of 1 lemon. Baked @ 375 for 8 min. No need to flatten before baking, they spread if you use butter only. Also made glaze with juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/4 cup powdered sugar, very nice twang addition!

Delicious! I used all butter since I didn't have shortening. 7 minutes was all they needed in the oven to be perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. These will make a regular Christmas appearance from now on!

GREAT FOR KIDS!!! I did roll the cookies out and the kids made christmas cutouts. No need to use additional flour. We iced with vanilla icing - yummy so easy and not nearly as much floury mess! Thanks for sharing!

Just what I was looking for! I did not have butter flavor shortening so I used regular shortening. Came out just fine. I also made a glaze for the top with lemon juice and powdered sugar. mmmmm

Kind of bland to me. I opted to use fresh lemon juice instead of extract and they still were not very lemoney. The cookie was not as crisp as I would have thought and just needed something......... I dont know what.I did not love these.
