    Very tasty cookies but I would definately cut the recipe in half, cut back on the butter and add more flour. Dough warms up quickly and isn't easy to manage, very sticky. But everyone loved them.....

    There is clearly an error in this recipe. I suspect that the original recipe had the flour in pounds. When the recipe got reduced to home measurements, someone substituted FLUID OUNCES for actual weight. In fact 4-1/2 cups = 36 fl. oz. BUT 36 oz. of flour measures out to 7 cups of flour, not 4-1/2 cups! The recipe as written will give you a greasy inedible cookie.

    I decided to alter this recipe because of the negative reviews that I read. I decreased the amount of butter in a recipe by 1 stick. I also added some extra flour (gradually anywhere from 1/4 -1/2 Cup because the dough was still a little too sticky. After chilling the dough I rolled it out onto a floured surface, cut out rounds from a cookie cutter and topped with the lemon sugar. They turned out WONDERFUL. I definately recommend these!!

    These cookies sounded great, but given the numerous steps that you don't usually have to do with cookies, I expected a lively, sweet lemon cookie. Instead, they are sticky and chewy, and spread out quite a bit in the oven The edges cook much faster than the rest of the cookie. (and my oven temp was correct I had to lower the temp so the edges didn't burn. They also weren't sweet enough (for me to counteract that STRONG lemon flavor.

    I made these for a cookie exchange. Being as I haven't baked in a while, I noticed it took a bit more time for me, however, an accomplished baker will be able to whip them right out.

    The recipe could have been scaled down a bit more. It yields about 80-90 cookies. Seems like a bit of work in the begining but oh my goodness they are wonderful!!!!! NOT A RECIPE FOR LOW FAT, LOW CHOLESTEROL, DIETERS!!!

    I think this recipe has potential, however when it was scaled from the huge batch the bakery uses to the size we would use I think they got the measurement wrong. Way too much butter, the cookies become flat as pancakes and I ended up throwing away most of the dough. I did try adding flour and even powder sugar to soak up some of the moisture from the butter.

    The cookie has too much butter in the recipe. The cookies did not hold thier shape; instead, spread across the cookie sheet and ran into each other. The recipe calls for a 20-minute baking period; however, they started to burn at the recommended 350 temp after 10 minutes in the oven. A lot of wasted time and ingredients.

    These cookies had a wonderful flavor but I had the problem with them spreading out also. Mine look like pancakes! I would like to try these again!

    The lemon flavor of these cookies is delicious but these cookies spread out tremendously when cooked. You have to add about 2-3 more cups of flour to the dough for the end product to look like individual cookies instead of a sheet cookie.
