These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding an extra egg yolk next time.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like thick lemon bars than wafers.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I might try adding a bit more sugar next time.

Delicious and easy to make. I used a lemon extract instead of fresh lemon juice and they still had a great lemon flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used Meyer lemons and they gave the wafers a wonderful floral flavor. I also added a bit of grated lemon zest to the batter for extra citrusy flavor. These cookies are perfect for a summer gathering or as a sweet treat a
