Wow, this is an excellent recipe for lemon cookies! I followed the recipe exactly and decided to follow the suggestion of rolling the ball of uncooked dough in sugar. After baking and tasting the cookie, I then decided to follow the other suggestion of making a glaze with fresh lemon juice and drizzling it over the cooled cookies. Bingo! Thats the winning combo! The sugar gives it a slightly crackly texture, and the glaze gives it that additional zing of lemon. This recipe is a keeper.

Excellent! One of the best cookies I've made in a long time. I used egg replacer powder and they baked up absolutely beautifully. I really wanted a noticeable lemon flavor so I added 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract and doubled them lemon zest. I rolled them in sugar before baking which gave them a wonderful crisp outside. I will make again and again! Highly recommended. Thanks!

Yummo! I used orange juice/zest because I didn't have lemon and these were amazing. My daughter calls them Annabelle cookies instead of Princess cookies. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! The lemony taste is perfect for spring, although I can see where past reviewers were coming from when saying they were too soft. Nonetheless, they came out great, and the glaze added an extra flavor. All I had was self-rising flour, so I just halved the amount of baking soda and salt to accommodate.

I made exactly as is but I did add 10 drops of lemon extract instead of zest, didn't have lemons. I also used about 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1-3/4 cup regular flour. It wasn't sticky at all, and formed balls very well. I did refrigerate it overnight, but I could have rolled them into balls right away. Delicious flavor, and soft at 10 mins.

These were pretty good. I was expecting a more shortbread-like cookie after looking through the pictures, so I was surprised at how cakey these came out. I had the hardest time ever rolling the dough into balls. I even refrigerated it overnight, but I had to heavily flour my hands and counter before I could roll them. This was frustrating to me, so I ended up only rolling about two dozen balls before I gave up and pressed the rest of the dough into my 7" x 11" baking pan to make a bar type cookie. Now, I wish I had rolled it all into balls, because the cookies came out pretty cute, after I drizzled them with a lemon-powdered sugar glaze and sprinkled them with yellow sugar. Not sure if I'd make these again, as they were quite a pain to roll out. They are pretty good, though, so we shall see. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think anyone in my household has ever agreed so wholeheartedly on a dessert. These cookies are just perfect -- they bake up soft and they STAY soft. I brushed them with a glaze made of powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla. They're still perfectly fresh after being in the fridge for 3 days. I will definitely make these over and over again.

I absolutely love this recipe. I used limes instead of lemons and they had a wonderfully sharp citrus taste. The cookies were soft and cake-y, even days after they were baked. The glaze really makes the cookie. I used slightly more lime so that it wouldn't have such a delicate flavor. Overall, I'll definitely be making these again.
