This recipe is quick and easy, and the cookies are very good; however, I wanted CRISP cookies and these were not. The only change I made to the recipe is that I used butter instead of shortening because I don't cook with shortening anymore.

They're edible, but I couldn't get past the artificial lemon flavor.

This recipe was completely scrumptious!!! I added lemon extract to make it extra lemony!! My whole family loved it and it was gone with the hour!! I had to make a second batch that day to satisfy everyone!! I found if you drop them by the tablespoon they're extra soft and yummy!! i also garnished with a little powdered sugar like suggested and they looked great too!!

These are really good and really soft - my mom (lemon lover) loved them. Tastes artificial, so don't be expecting that homemade taste. Really good though.

I tried these as written, and thought they were a little less lemony than I was expecting. Once I glazed them they were fantastic!

Nice subtle lemon flavor. Could ball dough, roll in sugar, and use cookie press for a fancier presentation.
