I am not usually one to leave a bad review, but these cookies tasted very strongly of cornstarch. So much so, in fact, that I checked the recipe to be sure I hadn't goofed up and put 1/2 a cup when it called for considerably less. Unfortunately, I found I did not goof up. I followed the directions to the letter, with no success. I am really wondering if there is a way to fix that? The frosting isn't bad. A little sugary, but I added a tiny bit more lemon juice, and a small amount more zest and that helped.

Great taste. Too easy to eat! I cut them a bit too thick and some didn't brown but awesome none the less!

Awesome cookies, lemon is subtle, and they definitely do melt in your mouth. Didn't change a thing in the recipe.

These cookies are very good and very addictive. I actually found this recipe a long time ago on another website. I am not a baker and not a very good one but these are really easy to make.

Very delicate and delicious! I have made these for work events, holiday parties and gifts and people always ask for the recipe. Chilling the dough over night definitely helps.

I agree with other reviewers who say these were inedible. At first you taste lemon and it is good, then they do melt away in your mouth, but not in a good way. It leaves a chalky corn starch taste in your mouth. I followed the recipe exactly and I do not care for them at all.
