    These were very tasty but extremely difficult to slice. I noticed that the show measurements were different than this recipe so I chose to use the show measurements. I froze the dough and it helped a little. The cooking time is also way off. 12-14 minutes were the ranges in all my batches. I also frosted the cookies as I needed to have more cookies for guests. Delicious and I would definitely make them again now that I feel I've got a handle on how to make them work.

    Took advice from others and modified a little. I used 6 tbsp cream cheese instead of 4, and added 1/2 a lemon worth of juice to the filling, and added the zest of 1 whole lemon. I found that I wanted them to be a little more "lemony." I did not find it difficult to cut the cookies, but i left them in the fridge for 1 1/2 days. Also, it's hard to roll into a log, so wrap around plastic wrap first then mold to prevent sticking to your hands. I also put them right onto a cookie sheet with no problem.

    I'm not a fan of fruit desserts, but these were incredible. They were so buttery and lemony and I loved the filling. I froze my dough before slicing, easy, peasy!! I made them just as the recipe called for. I also made a second batch and made them as individual cookies with the icing on top. Only disadvantage is the icing didn't firm up, so were difficult to store. They have become a fave!

    It was a disaster!!!! I´ve been depressed the whole afternoon because it was the first recipe I tried in years to go wrong. I prefer making cup cakes, and so I did with the frosting and yellow cake. They were very good.

    These are awesome! However, recipe only calls for 2 cups powdered sugar and you really need three. Must be a misprint. As with others who've posted, I used 8 ounces of cream cheese. Increasing the zest gives the cookies an extra lemony flavor. Also, the second time I made them I squeezed some extra lemon juice into a spray bottle and spritzed the tops of the cookies. After they dried I dusted with the powdered sugar. That gave the cookies just a little extra zing!

    Yes,I too had problems with slicing,so I too froze which helped,rolled them a little more,then stuck them back in freezer for 15 minutes and sliced.Even though,they were delicious: So nice that you can make these with such little ingredients: My family loves them.You can also customize them to your liking,more or less zest as well as trying Orange or Lime.I have tried the orange,very good: Also the first time I made these,I made the cream cheese filling first and ended up using the rest of my powdered sugar,therfore used granulated sugar for the cookie,which also worked well.
    Thanks Claire,you kick *****!!

    These are great cookies plain or with the cream cheese. Very light. I added a bit more lemon zest to the batter and cream cheese because we like lemon. I also just added 2 TBSP of fresh lemon juice to the batter and then froze the log. I did have some problems slicing the log and keeping the slices from falling apart so I may add a bit mor liquid to the batter next time. Definitely a keeper as they are easy to make and delicious. I stored them in an airtight container in the fridge as they have cream cheese.

    I was very disappointed in the cookies and ended up throwing them out! They tasted really bland - and I could taste the flour in them. The filling needed more lemon flavor because I couldn't taste the lemon in the cookie. Not a receipe that I'll want to try again. It went into the trash along with the cookies.
