Very good. Light flavor. I'm taking these to my family's 4th of July BBQ because they just scream "summer" to me. :-)

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, because everyone else seemed to enjoy these cookies, but mine stuck to the pan really bad until I greased it. They tasted okay, not the best lemon cookies we've ever had.

Loved 'em. We rolled them in powdered sugar before putting them on the baking sheet after the first batch and it significantly brought out more lemon flavor. Also, as others have pointed out, increase the recipe, you'll need as many as you have patience to bake.

Great cookie. I don't consider it chewy, more on the cake-y side. It's very light and low in sugar.

AWESOMELY delicious, I added a bit more lemon then called for and used sugar instead of almonds. they came out perfect. I had wondered what it meant by chewy crisps, but its neat, these really come out chewy and crispy. my very picky husband even loved them.

These were very good. I used chopped pine nuts instead of almonds and thought they turned out great! Next time I will definitely double the batch, though, because this recipe did NOT make very many cookies! My husband and I loved the thin, chewy-crisp texture.

These turned out really yummy :) My kids loved them. Instead of lemon juice, I added lemon flavoring, and it really brought out the flavor. I didn't have any almonds, so I also left those out and covered them in powdered sugar. Fantastic!!

These are fabulous cookies, and are also great made with either orange or lime in place of the lemon. They freeze wonderfully - I made60 dozen for a Christmas party last year, and after thawing they were as good as fresh-baked!

These were tasty but mine came out very flat and were better described as just crisps. Good lemon flavor though and pretty, almost like lace cookies (my dough was very sticky and thing, because I must have added too much extra lemon juice).

Excellent! Hubby and kids loved them, so I am making them again. I do recommend doubling or tripling the recipe as they go fast. Crispy outside and chewy inside, as promised. Thank you Jennifer.

These were alright. They had a wonderful texture. I added extra lemon juice to try to get a much lemon flavor possible. But when they came out, they sorta tasted like air,.... They had no lemon flavor what so ever to me. However my mom said she could taste the lemon. I made a lemon glaze and put over the cookies and they were AMAZING!!! So if they were more lemony, or you already had the glaze with them, they would certainly be 5 stars.

These were pretty good, I doubled, or even tripled the zest for extra tartness.

I just finished baking these cookies and I am not sure what I did wrong. They did not come out chewy and crisp. They were very cake-like, soft and falling apart. :-( Despite that they were rather tasty so I'll probably try this recipe again using my favourite sugar cookie recipe adding in the lemon zest and juice and sprinkling it with almonds.

I'm wondering if I overmixed these as they turned out cakelike rather than crisp and chewy Still good enough for me to want to try them again though. Thanks

One of my favorite cookie recipes, and the only cookie recipe that my husband requests. A definate 5 star recipe! There is another recipe similar to this one on this site that uses lime juice instead of lemon, nice to know you can sub lime.

I would call this a sugar cookie with a hint of lemon. It was good, but in the future I will look for ways to boost the lemony goodness (ie extract, glaze, etc). Mine didn't flatten out to form a crisp edge, but that may be my fault somehow.
