Melt In Your Mouth Honey Lemon Merry Christmas Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Rory

"These are a Christmas family tradition at our house and they don't last long. Even better (more moist and very sweet) the second and third day if kept in an air tight container."

YUCK! Tasteless and didn't even help to put a sweet frosting on them. They were hard and tasteless. Very disappointed.

A nice cookie, but I'm going to futz with the ingredient amounts a little. And you definitely need flour on hand to roll out the dough. Also, in my oven, the directed temperature baked them *much* faster than 8-10 minutes. In fact, to avoid them getting brown, as the recipe directions instruct, I had to take them out in only *5* minutes. Maybe it was the thickness at which I cut the cookies, but I liked the height to which they poofed, so I'm going to use the same again. All in all, a pleasant cookie, good with coffee or tea, but a lot of work....

Sorry....this recipe also calls for 1/3 Cup shortening. They are great cookies, but very tricky dough. You don't want it too moist or they stick...to dry and they get tough. These are also easily burnt...if they brown at all, then you've waited too long to get them out of the oven. Just slightly golden in color. Rory
