I am the recipe submitter- the glaze for the cookies can be made of a couple cups of confectioners sugar and enough lemon juice to make it runny. I also add a tiny splash of vanilla extract to add a little extra flavor. If you decide not to use the glaze, then roll them in sugar prior to baking. Enjoy!

Yummy! These have a very delicate flavour and are not too sweet. They are very spongey which I wasn't expecting but isn't a bad thing. These would be great with tea!

Knowing my preference for a crisp cookie i left out 1 egg. I got a crisp thin cookie with a great lemon flavor. Thanks.

Really tasty! A little spongy and soft for my intent (shipping half way across the globe) but darn tasty for home. I made a simple syrup of Lemon Juice and white sugar, dipped a fork in it, and pressed each dough ball down with the dipped fork, and it made a nice little crunchy pattern on top. I then drizzled the syrup on the cookies fresh out of the oven. YUMMY!

I didn't have any lemon to zest on hand, so I substituted with a tbsp of lemon peel and about 1/2 tsp of lemon extract. I don't know how it compares to the original recipe, but it was really super. Great, soft, spongy cookies - fit for a princess, indeed!

These have a really nice lemon flavor! They remind me of the old Girl Scout cookies (not sure if GS still sell that kind?) as far as flavor goes with a hint of shortbread cookie flavor. The texture is mix between a muffin and cornbread- It's good though. I like soft cookies. I wasn't sure how they'd be when people said "spongy," that sounded a little gross to me, but they're not funky. I can tell I will be craving these again soon. Thanks!

What a great cookie! Subtle lemon flavor and a great texture. My family loved them. I am guessing that these will be requested again. No changes necessary.

I have been on a baking spree and was looking for something different that I would like rather than my boyfriends favorite peanut butter or sugar... I am so happy I came upon this recipe... PHENOMENAL!!! I didn't change a thing but I did use the icing as the submitter recommended... it gives a nice little tartness to the cookie! I will be making these for years to come!

I am pretty sure I found my new most favorite ever cookie, I love these things and so does my little princess, and the whole family. Perfect flavor, the glaze perfects them!
