These cookies had a very strange flavor that I didn't like very much. My dad did, though.

This is a lovely lemon shortbread cookie. It's nice and flaky, a great treat. Easy to make and enjoy! It melts in your mouth.

I tried this last Saturday and the taste is very good. I will try adding orange peel next time, I believe the taste will be much better.
