  1. The picture looks terrible but these cookies are lemony good! They are always the first of the goodies gone! Light and fluffy.
     
  2. Made these for my other half to share at work! However, instead of rolling the dough into balls, I shaped the chilled dough into long 'ropes' about 1 inch in diameter & then cut the ropes into 1-inch lengths & went on from there! Obviously the cookies weren't round, but that didn't detract from the very, very tasty flavor (LOVE THAT LEMON)!
