"Fantastic!!! These were absolutely delicious, fancy looking cookies, but easy to make. Wonderful with a cup of tea! After you mix the dough, you need to roll it into little 1 inch balls, and then pre..." See moress them down. It wasn't mentioned in recipe. Great for a special occasion!"

"These had a wonderful flavor, but they didn't turn out like I had imagined. I didn't notice the review about pressing down the little dough balls so I just left them round and baked them (thinking th..." See moreey would spread out) but they didn't. What I had were a bunch of little cookie balls. There was no way I could make a sandwich out of them since they were so puffy, so I got a little creative...I put the filling in a pastry decorating bag and piped little designs on the top of my cookie balls. They looked so cute, like little white truffles. I will definetly make these again, and maybe change the food coloring color and decorate these with the filling on top since they looked and tasted so perfect. I bet you could also keep them puffy and drizzle some melted white chocolate over them also. For the actual recipe my only minor changes were to use 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract instead of the 1 tsp of lemon (didn't have any on hand) and I also put about 1/2 tsp of lemon zest in the cookie dough (not just the "filling" - topping). They were soooo tasty! I'm only giving 4 stars because the recipe did not mention shaping and flattening the dough balls."

"These were really delicious. I brought them to work to share and everyone loved them. The next time I make them though, I think I'll roll them into 3/4" or 1/2" balls to make a smaller cookie that you..." See more just pop in your mouth. They were a little messy to take several bites of because of the confectioners sugar. Another note to those trying the recipe.. mine didn't spread at all in the oven (which is alright) Just to keep in mind .. the shape & size they are going in the oven will be the same coming out. Thanks for sharing!"
