This recipe does not work out as is! The cookies are greasy and burn on the sheet within the first half of cooking time. The dough itself is also greasy and melts when you handle it. The taste of the cookie salvages it from a total loss though so please some one at Food Network, fix the recipe instructions and ingredient amounts!

Please stop besmirching butter and other healthy fats and foods. Butter and other dairy foods, beef and other meat and poultry with the skin and fat are extremely healthy foods, especially beef from pasture raised cows and free roaming poultry. That's why these foods taste so good and why they are so satisfying to us. Mother Nature is a wise old gal. Refined sweeteners, like HFCS and even white sugar along with soybean, canola, and other hydrogenated oils like Crisco are extremely unhealthy and cause many problems in our diet. Think about it.

Yes, you'll have to adjust this one. I cut out one stick of butter and added about a half a cup of extra flour- but a little more flour would make rolling the balls easier. I only zested three lemons (which squeezed is about the 3/4 cup of juice you need. I'm eating one right now with some iced tea and they are perfect!

I should have saved myself the grief and read the reviews before trying this...I do not understand those who said they came out perfect! I am a seasoned cookie baker and this was a total waste of the price of a piece of parchment paper(the darn things even stuck to the parchment! I did like the strong lemon flavor however. I believe the recipe could be salvaged with the addition of more flour, adding some b.soda, & up the b.powder slightly. The frosting also desperately needs the addition of vanilla or almond extract. With a little more poof they could be really really good. Not good as it is tho!

Not to be disrespectfull---but where have you ever seen any recipe instruct you to use 4 sticks of unsalted butter to 4 1/2 cups of flour. My wife questioned this at the beginning basically because it all would not fit in a normal food processor. The end result is nothing short of a greasy manhole cover. I would highly suggest that someone revisit this recipe and adjust it prior to causing someone to have a heart attack. Someone owes me for all of the ingredients that were waisted on this mess. I'm not mad Rachael---everyone makes mistakes.

What a waste of 2 hours. The recipe bombs out from the beginning with the food processor mixing directions that do not work unless you have a commercial food processor. The ice cream scoop cookies turned into 10" pancakes. After the first batch I made them marble sized balls. Two of the 3 cookie sheets burned after 10 minutes due to the fact the cookies are paper thin. The recipe makes closer to (100 - 1 1/2" cookies. Rachel Ray bombed out big time on this one.

I have been searching for this recipe since tasting a very similar cookie at a party several years ago. This is an AMAZING cookie for lemon lovers, the sweet and sour flavor. You do need a large size food processor and some strong wrists to grate all the lemon zest, but they are so worth it. I will be making these for special occasions - I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. They are tender and moist and the lemon glaze really sets off the flavor. My husband loves them, too. The flavor is similar to the tried and true lemon bars with the crust, lemon filling and powdered sugar on top. I store the dough in the refrigerator and make them a few dozen at a time. If you make them them BIG with an ice cream scoop you'll get 2-3 dozen. I made some smaller, about 1" balls, and they were wonderful, too.

These are the worst cookies I've ever made. I was so excited about this recipe, but boy was I disappointed. This recipe requires so much time, and a whole orchard of lemons! The recipe is not properly adjusted to household-sized scale. These cookies were ULTRA-SUPER-CALA-FRADJULISTIC-EXPIALADOCIOUS LEMONY!!! And SUGARY! And I MEAN it. I was squinting and wincing with every bite. Then I had the WORST STOMACH ACHE of my life. My advice? Don't walk... RUN! Run away from this recipe.

This cookie was fairly easy to make and so tasty! Tart, yet sweet, a treat for any lemon lover!
