I was hesitant to try this for the reason is seemed no one else had, but I'm glad I did cause they turned out lovely. I'm 16 and I love to bake, I suggested this to my friend who is a beginner at cooking all together. She made this easy with no problems, great for beginners!
I was questioning the baking powder when I used this but went for it ....not good. Ran into one big cookie. can't decorate...will eat instead.
Fabulous, buttery cookies with crispy edges. Not your typical sugar cookie. In fact the only thing wrong is the name, which sets the wrong expectation. Follow the instructions (including the size and using two sheets) and you’ll be very happy with the results!
Exactly as described. My only regret is that I was a bit shy of the tablespoon of lemon rind. Will be certain to have plenty of lemons on hand next time.
yummy but doesn't make many. Maybe triple the recipe if anyone else is expecting to eat some
