I used a stand mixer to make the dough, but I found that it made the dough a bit too dense. Next time I'll try mixing the dough by hand. Wish me luck!

These are my go-to cookies when I have unexpected guests coming over. A quick chill in the fridge, and 15 minutes in the oven, and I have fresh homemade cookies that are sure to impress! My secret weapon for unexpected company!

I love the light and airy texture of these cookies, however they seem to fall apart very easily. Any suggestion on how to keep them together a bit more?

I usually have trouble getting my cookies to chew properly. This time, I let the dough chill overnight following this recipe, and it baked up beautifully. Chewy in the middle and crispy edges just like you promised. Nailed it!

I've made these cookies multiple times and they're always a hit! My friends and family love that slight tanginess from the lemon?

My first attempt at these cookies turned out a bit too dense for my taste, so I added 1/2 cup more flour and they were perfect! Chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Just how a cookie should be!

I found the dough to be a bit sticky, but after chilling in the fridge overnight, it was much easier to handle. The cookies baked up perfectly and the lemon flavor was subtle and refreshing.

I've never baked with lemon before. This recipe has inspired me to explore more. Thanks for the idea Alice!

These cookies are so soft and pillowy! They literally melt in your mouth, the burst of lemon flavor is a party in my mouth??.
