This recipe is very good! Thanks for posting Kim. This is much like another recipe on Food with pecans. If you like straight lemon these are for you. They come out really pretty and uniform if you form the balls of dough similarly. If you use the zest make sure to use icing sugar. If you don't want to roll in sugar, make sure to make them without the zest as they are strong. If you make without the icing sugar they are not as sweet FYI. Also, I tested some with granulated sugar and they came out delish but not as shiny as with icing sugar. They are fun, easy to make and are a tempting treat even for those who don't like fruity things. The time and temp were spot on for us. I cooled them on a wire rack. Good lemony bites in no time.<br/>Enjoy! ChefDLH
