Amazing cookies"Review for a very nice lemon cookie:
This lemon cookie is absolutely delightful! The texture is perfect—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The lemon flavor is just right, not too overpowering but still refreshing and zesty. It's wonderfully balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, a fantastic treat that I highly recommend!"

So good! I added a bit extra zest and more fresh lemon juice (3 tsps) since I saw a lot of reviews mentioned that they could do with more

Really good. I want a little more lemon out of it but still good. I put white chocolate chips in them instead of rolling them in sugar.

The cookies are delicious I did use the zest of two lemons since we like an 8ntense lemon flavor in things.

Super good! I just added some extra lemon juice because the flavor wasn’t super strong

Great! Nice and soft too. I added a lot more lemon juice and a dash of lemon extract so it has a good lemon flavor

Quite lovely and yummy or my first go! Next time, I will need to make some adjustments for my oven and I think I added slightly too much flour.
