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.

Made these for Christmas for my nieces' and nephews' cookie platter gifts. These simple cookies were a hit! I have to admit - in the rush to get all of my cookie varieties done - failed to divide the lemon zest, and I mixed in all of it into the cookie batter. Whoops! But that didn't seem to ruin the taste for my lemon-loving nieces and nephews. Also, I made smaller versions using a mini ice cream scoop (about 1 oz. portions), and adjusted my oven temp to 350?. They were baked on the middle rack on parchment-lined cookie sheets for about 8-9 minutes, until the bottoms were browned and the tops were set and golden in color. I did not bother flattening them with a sugar-coated glass either. After they cooled, I briefly dipped the tops in the lemon glaze and sprinkled them with yellow sanding sugar. I will be making these again as the kids requested them for next year's holiday cookie platters!
