    I saw this episode, and I knew I had to make these cookies. I thought it was pure genius to combine cornmeal with lemon to bake a sweet treat. Boy was I wrong! Not so much the cornmeal, and not so much the lemon... but something is just OFF. The cookies lacked flavor, and the texture was odd. They tasted nothing like they looked. I REALLY wanted to like these. I'm still searching for the perfect lemon cookie. Let me know when you find one! But this ain't it.

    I wondered from the start if this recipe was correct. No eggs or leavening? Sure enough the cookies completely fell apart. What a waste of time and ingredients.

    The flavor of these cookies is wonderful. They are light and lemony without being too sweet. However, they are so crumbly I can barely pick them up. I turned them over to roll in the sugar (just like Giada did on tv and they crumbled in the bowl. Some of them crumbled when I picked them up. I ended up having to dust the sugar on with a sifter. I'll try to rework the recipe a little to make them a little more stable.

    Had same problem with crumbliness until let it cool a bit and also thought it was too grainy from the cornmeal the first day. Didn't really like them when warm,fell apart. But put them in tupperware & when I ate them the next day the flavors had somehow truly enhanced, the buttery texture was more set (not as grainy as it was the day beforeand I REALLY loved them! Fabulous lemony butter cookie by next day! Written recipe should tell you more specifically how long to pulse nut mix. I ended up completely grinding the nuts, but I don't think they should have been that way.

    Cookies fell apart and were dry. Couldn't even pick them up without crumbling.

    USE AN EGG! Everyone here agrees these great tasting cookies are coming out too crumbly. Add an egg to the butter/sugar mixture. It helps to bind the ingredients and once baked the outside has a crisp shell and the inside is slightly moist...mmmm MANGIA

    I loved this recipe- it has a light texture and the powdered sugar gives it a really cool, sweet finish. Also I found them quick and easy to make, but look beautiful!

    These cookies would have been perfect except that the recipe didn't call for eggs. It would bind the dough and keep the cookies from crumbling.
