I'm not a fan of rosemary, but these cookies were still really good. The lemon flavor is very strong, which I loved.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

These cookies are a delight! The combination of rosemary and lemon is unique and refreshing. The shortbread cookies themselves are buttery and crumbly, and the lemon filling is tart and tangy. I highly recommend this recipe!
