Lemon Butter Cookies

"After reading the reviews I still tried the recipe sans lemon or vanilla extract. Instead I increased the lemon zest to 1 tablespoon. I rolled the dough out to 1/8" and baked for 10 minutes without..." See more using the sugar coating. The consistency was great; I got a nice golden color around the edges. I drizzled the cookies with an icing made from ~ 1 cup confectioner's sugar, 1 tbsp. lemon juice and ~ 1/4 tsp. lemon zest. I let the icing dry (about 1 hour) before stacking for storage. My daughters gave them a double thumbs-up for taste. Most of the flavor intensity came from the icing instead of the cookie. Remember that it's a lemon and butter cookie, and I tasted a good balance of both from my procedure."

"These were very light and refreshing!! I substituted 1 teas vanilla and 1 teas lemon extract instead of the lemon juice. Instead of rolling I refrigerated the dough made into small balls and flattened..." See more out into circles. I used the sugar cookie icing recipe from this site! Very Yummy and easy! Thanks Kathleen!"

"All-in-all the recipe was pretty good. I would probably swap the lemon juice for the extract next time around. Also, the thickness of the cookie as stated in the recipe is not correct. It says the ..." See moredough should be rolled to 1/4" inch. Using this thickness the yield is approximately half of the 2 1/2 dozen stated. Not only is the yield cut in half but the cooking time hs to be almost doubled. I suggest rolling these to about 1/8" thickness."
