Thin, Crispy, Lemon Cookies
"I actually was hoping for a soft, thick sugar cookie, but I got a thin and crispy one. THe flavor was still amazing, and I still did like the crispyness. I may come out with a thick, soft, chewy, lemon cookie in the near future...."

A very nice cookie! crispy on the outside, soft and eggy on the inside, with just a hint of lemon! I didn't have lemon zest or extract, so I had to make do with lemon juice, but the recipe took it beautifully! I added lemon juice to the glaze for more lemony goodness, too, but otherwise, excellent! I'll make it again!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT BAKING!! I love being in the kitchen, mixing up new recipes, and old ones. I love to see the reaction of peoples faces. I even enjoy making a bad recipe, because i learn from my mistakes, and then just a try a different recipe.
