This was an amazing recipe! I did use almond extract not lemon and folks loved the cookies. Dough does crumble but if you let the dough sit over night in the refrigerator and then make medium sized balls until dough is smooth and not crumbling, and then roll out, it works well to cut out shapes. I had a party and the cookies were a huge success.

Edible and workable, but not fantastic. They were very puffy and distorted, but worked for simple hearts. An ok flavor, but I will keep looking.

The cookie dough was extremely sticky, even after mass attempts to decrease stickiness by adding more flour, it was still sticky. I ended up using half a teaspoon baking powder and baking soda. I didn't use cookie cutters, instead I just rolled them sphere-like. Although I made the balls miniature, The cookies took around 15 minutes to bake a batch. The overall result was delicious, I will definately use this recipe again!

After reading all of the reviews, I decided to decrease the baking powder and baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon each. My cookies came out perfect, they puffed up just a little bit and held their shape. I used this recipe to make christmas cookies. Loved it!

I will admit that i made this strictly for cuttin cookies with my son and OH boy what a mess! This recipe is VERY wet and sticky...I added A LOT more flour to make the dough manageable, and now they taste like...well...flour! Perhaps the would have tasted great with the original recipe but this recipe certainly iS NOT for cookie cutting! BOOOO!

I have no idea how these taste, but I will advise against using this as suggested, as a jarred gift. Although it says they'll fit in a quart jar, they don't even come close. I have a whole cup of flour that needs to go in, and there's nowhere to put it at all. I'm displeased, as it means I'll either have to bake them myself or throw away all the ingredients. Very frustrating!
