Lemon Cookies image

I made these lemon cookies for my Christmas cookie tray this year. They are a light a delicate cookie with a texture a bit like shortbread. I cut them into various shapes, including people and made them a bit like 'lemon bread men'. The recipe originally came from the UK TV cook Rachel Allen. I originally posted this trying to convert from grams to ounces and it was too confusing. So, I have put it back to grams :)

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I might try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

These cookies were a hit at my party! Everyone loved the bright lemon flavor and the soft, chewy texture. I'll definitely be making them again.
