Contrary to previous commentary and reviews, I really do believe these cookies were incredible! The idea of colorful lemon sugar cookies had me excited from the very moment I read the headline, though I was later hesitant after reading so many negative reviews that for some odd reason, always outweigh the positive ones. Anyways, for anyone wondering, these cookies really were fantastic. A popular hit amongst my entire family and that is indefinitely enough to suffice for me!

I had none of the problems I read about in the reviews. I even made 18 cookies instead of 12. I don't get why people are disappointed with this recipe. It's just so great. My cookies not stuck together at all, and even had a good shape. I didn't even use parchment paper and only greased the pan with some cooking spray and nothing bad happened and this is the first time I made these cookies!

These cookies were delicious! I had my kids help me prepare the dough. They helped me slice them and dip them in the colored sugar. We followed the recipe just as it says and we had NO PROBLEMS! Don't forget to cook them on the parchment paper... that may have been part of the others problems. They came out perfect shaped, not too thick or thin. They didn't even last 1 day!

I loved the cookies, and so did my 14month old grandchild

I tried this recipe the first time and had all the same problems many others have had - they tasted great but came out paper thin. The second time I made them, I added and extra 1/4 cup of flour and lowered my oven temp 25 degrees (but my oven cooks fast. Also, I just chilled the dough in a bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes and rolled the dough into individual balls in my hands instead of forming it into logs. I cooked them for about 10 minutes, but you should check them and see how done they get. When the edges get a little brown, they are ready to go. The changes weren't that hard at all and the cookies turned out great! Good luck!

I've read the other reviews and am frankly a little surprised. I only used the ingredients in the recipe, and they came out perfect. I refrigerated the dough overnight as I usually do with slice-and-bake, and I wanted smaller cookies so I decreased the diameter of the logs and ended up with 48 cookies instead of 24. I still sliced them 1/2 inch thick as directed, and baked 1 dozen at a time on a cookie sheet on parchment paper (also what I always do. Of course they're going to spread--they're cookies with butter and that's what they do. Mine spread to reach about 2 1/2 inches (the raw dough was about 1 1/4. I think if people are having trouble with overspreading, they either aren't working with fully chilled dough or are putting them too close together on the sheet. Perhaps they've never worked with a shortbread-style cookie before as that's essentially what these are. I love this recipe and will be making it again for a tea I'll be catering.

I was a little skeptical about not having vanilla or an egg in the recipe, but my grandfather owned a bakery and had a similar cookie, These were so easy and delicious, I had no problem with the dough or the baking, my husband and mother loved these cookies and said "fill up the cookie jar again"

I agree with everyone else I wish I would've read the reviews first, these spread out so much I know now I make better cookies, but I should say the dough is great just to eat like that.

like most reviews i too was disappointed with this recipe. looked great on tv when sandra did it...i'm a big sugar cookie and lemon anything fan..i ended up adding an egg to the recipe and only put 6 cookies on a cookie sheet since so many had them spreading into a thin crispy mess....and thank goodness i did...the 6 baked larger than i expected and were flat...however they tasted really good! but even with all the butter mine ended up sticking a bit.

I followed the recipe ingredients exactly using parchment paper to bake on and they turned out beautifully - yummy flavor and melted in our mouths. Good luck to anyone who tries them - we were not disappointed and will be making again.
