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

I had some trouble getting the dough to come together, but I think that was just because I didn't chill it long enough. Once I chilled it for the full 30 minutes, it was much easier to work with.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good.
