Great, easy lemony cookies. They spread out a lot so keep in mind when placing on pans. I didn't roll in the extra sugar just dusted with confectioner's sugar after slightly cooled. Good cookies.

I loved these! Sometimes I get a lemon craving just like one gets a chocolate craving, but I do not always have fresh lemons in the house. These are great because they use lemon extract. The corn syrup is a perfect addition because they provide extra moistness - corn syrup is good in any suger type cookie for just that reason. I use a Silpat to bake on so it took more like 15 minutes per sheet to bake instead of 12.

delightful without being overwhelming. Might try orange or peppermint extract instead next time. The balls do flatten out quite a bit .. leave plenty of space between them. Great for a "higher class" meeting or a spring iced tea party.

I added some grated lemon peel to the dough and kept it in the fridge while one batch was baking. I didn't have any trouble roling them as long as they were cold. Next time I will use less sugar. The sweet seemed to overpower the lemon. They were also a lot chewier than I expected. They have been well eaten by everyone in my home though.

These are great! Kind of sweet, I may cut down on the sugar IN the recipe, since the cookie is covered in sugar. An easy way to sugar the rolled cookie ball was to put sugar into a small ramekin, then dump the ball in, cover the top with your hand, and shake a couple of times. A good job for a kid to do. Thanks!

This truly is a delightful recipe. I chilled the dough probably 2 hours, and had no trouble handling it. Baked exactly 12 minutes. The smell while they were baking was great, and the finished product is very, very good! Thanks so much for sharing this one, it's a keeper!

I made these for an afternoon tea party at an elderly home. They were a hit. In the end, my cookie plate was the only empty one. Don't know if I mixed something wrong, but the dough was really sticky, making it hard to role in sugar.

I guess in the high altitudes, the cookies like to spread. I had a whole pan of cookie. Very good recipe!

Very easy to make but has to be done in advance for dough to chill but well worth the wait. Kids will have fun rolling cookies in sugar before placing on baking sheet
