This is amazing! I added 2.5 tsps of lemon extract and it was perfect. Double the recipe... I guarantee you'll want more!

I love these cookies but the reason I only gave it a 4 star review is because I had to add a lot more lemon extract to get the real lemon flavor. I used 1 whole bottle of extract (yes, gets expensive if making a lot), to a double batch as our families like the real lemon flavor. Wasn't tart but the smell and taste was oh so good! Thanks for the recipe!

These cookies are AMAZING! I am not a huge lemon fan, but I love girl scout lemonade cookies so I thought these sounded similar... they did not disappoint! I tried adding a lemon glaze to some of them and that made them even better... I am addicted to these cookies! Also, I took some reviewers suggestions and doubled the amount of lemon extract. I was a little worried at first thinking they would be too lemony, but they weren't at all, they turned out perfect. This is going into my recipe box, it is a new family favorite!

Exceptionally delightful... just finished tea and cookies. I took a raters suggestion and used lemon juice and zest, and added vanilla extract (gramma would insist) but the overall cookie was so delightful and would use lemon extract just to have the yummy dunking cookie!

I only gave it 4 stars since my experience could have been my fault. I made the cookie exactly as directed and while the cookie was tasty, I had no lemon flavor. I was really wanting a nice pronounced lemon flavor and it just wasn't there. I may try it again with more lemon.

Good, but not nearly enough lemon flavor. To make up for this, we made a strong lemon frosting from another lemon cookie recipe I had - and then they were amazingly addictive!

I enjoyed making them and my crew likes eating them. I did not use any corn syrup and I added real leamon juice (2 tablespoons) instead of extract plus lemon peel (1 tablespoon). If I make them again I would add more lemon peel. But they are soft and very tasty.

Simply delicious! My hubby loves lemon cake and so I decided to try lemon cookies for him. He is addicted. Big hit in our home. I highly recommend them.
