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.

I read a lot of the prior reviews about "flavorless", "dry" and "hard" and made the following changes with decent results:

1. Used the low-end of the flour requirement
2. Upped the lemon zest to 2 full tsp (tho think it STILL could have easily used more. Upped the extract a 1/4 tsp too.
3. Refrigerated the dough for an hour wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Helped a lot with forming/rolling
4. Rolled them slightly thicker than suggested, then the squares into triangles (making smaller, but thicker cookies
5. Dusted with pwd. sugar both before and after cooking

The only thing I couldn't get beyond was the dryness factor, but they were indeed much more tender and a bit more flavorful this way.
