Lemony Lemon Cookies image

You can taste the lemon but it's not too sweet and not too sour. This is the original recipe but I have also made this substituting orange and lime for the lemon. I am thinking about trying it with grapefruit next time.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't really like lemon. My husband loved them though, so I'll probably make them again for him.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. They were too crumbly and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable.
