These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a bit more flour.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a bit less sugar than the recipe called for, and they were still plenty sweet. I also added a bit of lemon zest, which gave them a nice flavor.
