These cookies were a disappointment. The dough was too sticky and difficult to work with. The cookies also didn't spread very well in the oven. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These cookies are a delight! The lemon flavor is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the sugar cookie. They're soft and chewy, with a hint of crunch from the sugar crystals. I've made them twice now and they're a hit with my family and friends.
