These are indeed very pretty cookies and are easy to make. They are not very lemony though, we can barely taste it despite using the juice and peel of a whole lemon - much more than was called for anyway. The texture is rather cakey, as expected, and I took extra time beating the sugar in per the comments of the last reviewer. -
This was a nice easy recipe. I cant evaluate it too fairly though, because I had to substitute a few things. I used plain vanilla yogurt, orange instead of lemon, and becasue the yogurt was not citru flavoured, I added 4 teaspoons of juice and extra zest. The sugar turned out a bit grainy, but next time I'll just mix it for a bit longer. Also next time, I'll put 6 teaspoons of juice and see how I go. Thanks for posting though!
