    I followed the recipe to the letter and when I took the cookies off the baking sheet to roll in the sugar, they totally crumbled into bits! I don't know what went wrong, but they just fell apart.

    The confectioner's sugar does not blend in with the lemon zest. It lumps. The cookie dough is nice and supple, but the baked cookies, although buttery and delicious, do not hold together. Difficult to handle and break apart easily. I think less butter would make a world of difference.

    I absolutely love these cookies! I wouldn't change a thing, EXCEPT (ha ha before the first rolling you should let the cookies cool for about ten minutes or so. I dipped them in the powdered sugar too soon and it gummed up a bit on me. I dipped them a second time after they were cooled. Delicious!!!

    This recipe produces a cookie that falls apart in your hands. It must be missing an egg or other ingredient that will prevent the crumbling effect.

    I had a doubt when I looked at 1 1/4 cup of pine nuts and two sticks of butter but went ahead since Giada's recipes are generally good. It had a great flavor and wonderful aroma, though, and my husband loved it and didn't complain about all the oil or crumbly texture.

    Mixing the ingredients was the best part. Everything smelled so sweet and so lemony, but they came out very grainy and tasted like sugared ... cornmeal. I couldn't taste the lemon hardly at all even though when they first went into the oven I could smell it so strongly.
    I also had the problem that others seemed to have had: the first one vanished in my hand like a sand rock does when you touch it. I learned quickly to let them cool a few minutes and they become much sturdier and can then be rolled in the sugar.
    Overall, I was very disappointed that they didn't come out better. I was so excited to try these!!

    So these cookies were great! we had to improvise though, because we didnt have a food processer or lemon, so we used a blender, and orange, instead. They turned out amazing: We also refrigerated them for longer than in said in the recipe, because on the show it said until the dough was pretty hard.
