  • If you don't have a zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemons.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be tender and chewy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
