Lemon Meltaways image

I clipped this from a Reader's Digest about 3 years ago. It was in an advertisement for Land O Lakes butter. These cookies live up to their name. Lemony and buttery and oh so tender, they almost do melt in your mouth! Prep time includes chill time.

I made these cookies with my kids and we had a lot of fun. They were easy to make and they turned out great. The cookies were light and fluffy with a nice lemon flavor. We will definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The lemon flavor was too subtle and the texture was a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more lemon zest and juice.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar. Otherwise, they were good cookies.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I thought I'd give these cookies a try. I'm glad I did! They were surprisingly delicious. The lemon flavor was not overpowering and the cookies were perfectly sweet. I will definitely be making these again.
