These are totally awesome!! The batch size is perfect, I found it made exactly 24 cookies. I didn't have shortening so I subbed butter which probably make mine a bit more golden than the recipe intended... I also added 1/2 c chocolate chips since we like the coconut/chocolate combination. This is an excellent recipe which I'm sure I will be making again. Thanks for sharing it.

I am married and a SAHM of 4 kiddos...I have been a collector of recipes since I was a little girl. When browsing zaar I can not resist clicking on any recipe that is a 'family tradition', 'grandmas', or 'clipped from the paper 30 years ago' and anything that has the word 'lemon' in it. I am trying real hard to incorporate a healthier way of eating into our lives and zaar has been a tremendous tool in accomplishing that. I love trying lots of different recipes on zaar as well as just browsing. One of the things I love about it here is the ability to find first rate recipes that really make an impact on what I make for my family. I have found several recipes that are now becoming a 'tradition' in our home...and I really value them!
