These were just okay. I did keep adding lemon juice in hopes to increase the lemon flavor, but it changed the cookie from having a more crispyness to more cakey like consistency, which I wasn't crazy about. So, that's my fault. I might try again, but I really have been searching for a very lemony crunchy cookie. Guess I will have to keep searching!

I seldom give a one star review but I must be honest and say that this lemon cookie was greasy and flat. We made it twice just because we thought that surely we'd made a mistake. However the second attempt was just as greasy and flat. I would NOT recommend this recipe.

I made the cookies again, and it turn out really good. The first time i made these, they were puffy and had a bitter after taste to them. This time i decrease the oven temperature (my oven seem to be 25-50 degrees off), and they came out flat. Would make this again.

These are good sugar cookies. But with the amount of lemon extract posted you can not taste it. I doubled the lemon and still could not taste it. When they cooled, I glazed them with a lemon juice and icing sugar frosting. Will make them again but triple the lemon extract.

I too made the mistake of creaming in 2 cups of sugar with the butter instead of reserving one cup for rolling the dough, so I made another batch without the sugar, and mixed them up together. Still came out pretty and yummy. Will definitely make again.

Delicious, chewy cookie!!! I doubled the lemon extract and added a few drops of yellow food coloring to enhance the lemony experience, though, and also added a cup of white chocolate chips. Because of the white chocolate, I used only 1 and a half cups of sugar, and it was PERFECT. These cookies DO expand, though, so keep about three inches between them on the baking sheet. I'll definitely make them again! THANKS!

I made these to take over to my in laws for Christmas (my father in law likes lemon things). My mother in law and her sisters raved on them, said that their grandama made cookies just like these and she died before anyone was able to get the recipe for them

These are easily the best cookies I have ever eaten. My whole family just loves them. I followed the advice of another person here and doubled the amount of Lemon Extract to 2 tsp. and added 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract. I didn't have any trouble with the dough being sticky and the texture of the cookies is just great, crisp but chewy. Will be making these again.

These cookies had a wonderful lemon flavor and the texture was perfect...chewy with a little crisp. They were a tad too sweet but all in all delicious.

I loved the crunchy/chewy consistency of these no-fail cookies! I used 1 TBSP of lemon extract and a few drops of yellow food coloring. I've also substituted the lemon for raspberry extract and orange extract. Both great revisions!

I also substituted corn syrup with golden syrup, and added nearly 4 tea spoons of lemon juice + 1 teaspoon lemon zest. I also cut down sugar to 3/4 cup in the mix plus sugar sprinkles and still found it (pleasantly) sweet and mildly lemony. I tried to make it eggless by replacing 1 egg with almost a tablespoon of white vinegar (although I suspect omitting it altogether might be ok). I can't wait to try another batch with egg and see if there's any difference. I had to bake a bit longer to get a nice golden colour, and mine appeared crispy (yayy!) outside and just a bit moist inside (and it also spread out nice and round)...maybe I shouldn't have over-baked. I think this is as pure a simple lemon sugar tea cookie should get! :)

These cookies are terrific! I get requests for the recipe whenever I take them somewhere. I did double the lemon extract, and added a couple drops of yellow food coloring. Also, only 1 cup of sugar goes in the recipe, the rest is for rolling the dough balls in. I made that mistake the first time I made them - then I re-read the recipe :) Thanks Tamme!

Yummy!! They were nice and chewy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. I did double the amount of lemon extract and still thought it could use a little more, other then that, they were perfect!

We have a sweet tooth in our house but these cookies were MUCH too sweet. The texture of the cookie wasn't bad... chewy -when first out of the oven and crispy when they are cool.

These cookies are delicious! I am a chocolate lover, so I usually only make chocolate desserts, but these lemon cookies are amazing. My husband really enjoys lemon-flavored treats, and he was eating them right off of the pan as soon as I took them out of the oven! I combined some of the advice from earlier reviews--doubled the amount of lemon extract, added one tsp of vanilla, and the zest of one small lemon--and they are absolutely fantastic. Thanks, Tamme.

I LOVE eating these cookies when they come right out of the oven. They taste heavenly! Don't worry though, they still taste great even when they cool down. These cookies always impress and delight, though they seem quite simple. Even those not normally fond of lemons have loved these yummy cookies. Excellent :)
