If you love lemon, these cookies are the BOMB! I was looking for a lemon cookie to make from scrath (I don't like using cake mixes), and tried this one with a few modifications - and it's a keeper! I used unsalted butter and lite lemon yogurt. I doubled the grated lemon peel and the lemon extract in the cookie. (Don't be shy about the lemon - it won't hurt the taste at all!) "Drop by tablespoonfuls" is probably an heaping teaspoonful, since a tablespoonful would have to be level to make the right sized cookie (not too big, not too small). They cooked for the full 12 minutes, and came out a bit puffy and chewy with a nice brown underside. I didn't quite end up with 18 (only about 16), so if the amount is important to you, be careful! For the icing, I used "True Lemon" instead of lemon juice (2 packets equal 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, so you need 4, and just add 2 tablespoons of water to the powder and mix) and threw the lemon peel in now (doubling it, for a total of 4 teaspoons). I also added lemon extract (about 1 teaspoon, maybe a bit more) to the icing. I double-glazed the cookies with the icing, and sprinkled with yellow decorating sugar. WOW! These really are addictive!

I needed to bring something simple like cookies to a BBQ, but I wanted something nice and refreshing for summer. These cookies are quick and easy. Everyone loved them! I would not change a thing. They are perfect!!!

These were soft and cake like and the flavor was good. I would like a flatter chewier cookie with more honey flavor so next time I may decrease the flour, up the honey and maybe add coconut for texture.

Delicious cookies! My husband asked me to make a honey lemon cookie and this was the only one I came across that looked remotely tasty and it was!! Perfect balance of lemon and honey!

A cake like cookie that goes fabulously with tea. I'll make them again, but add a bit more lemon extract to the dough this time. Elegant but not intimidating.

Excellent cookie! Did not come out like picture, flattened out a bit, but a quarter cup more flour should help that next time. Used lemon yogurt instead of plain. Flavor is perfect, not too honey or too lemon, but a great blend. Cookie looks cake-like, but is almost chewey when bitten into. Love it!

These were quite tasty and something I will definetly make again. The flavor combination of lemon and honey is truly a winner, and presented in a cookie form it makes for a nice snack and companion with a cup of hot tea. Mine turned out rather soft and chewy, with nicely crisp edges, which is fine by me because I prefer chewy cookies, but I think a more fluffy, cake-like texture would be much more fitting for the flavor. Overall, a nice solid recipe and I look forward to having these again soon!
