    the recipe and used 6 oz. cream cheese instead of 4 oz. Even with more cream cheese added, the cookies came out dry. I chilled the dough to avoid having to use too much flour. These cookies are really hard to roll out and cut into squares without the addition of flour. I probably used 1 cup extra flour to get it to roll out! I also used the zest of 5 lemons (about 2 TBS. They were bland! I thought they could use more sugar. I made a lemon glaze to drizzle on top to make them a little more edible. Despite the less than average reviews, a friend of mine recommended this recipe. Her and I need to have a talk LOL

    This recipe is perfect for tea cakes and the lemon is the right amount. Too sweet and it ruins the combination with the savory.
