These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be perfect with a cup of unsweetened tea.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were too bland and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped sunflower seeds for the walnuts. They turned out great!

These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I used a lemon extract instead of lemon zest, and they still turned out delicious. I think this recipe is very versatile, and you can easily customize it to your own taste.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these cookies. I'm not usually a fan of zucchini in desserts, but it worked really well in this recipe. The lemon flavor was also very refreshing.
