We made these cookies yesterday and they were delicioust! They are a little salty and sweet....PERFECT!

This were great with tea! To keep them round I use the cardboard tubes from paper towels or if you want them wider, the ones from Pringles potato chips. I wrap the dough in parchment first and slide them in. No "ovals."

i made these very easy I did not have enough lemon zest so i used 4 packets of true lemon and I rolled dough in freezer paper and put in freezer overnight sliced 1/4 inch thick they did spread but I used them cooled in the bottom of paper muffin tins and made mini key lime pies.They were a big hit and will make them again. The batter was thin and next time I will weight flour and maybe use part ww pastry flour.

made this, very simple & very delicious when baked off - but ive got a question - how can i make my logs perfectly circular? the log i rolled came out as ovals, not a big deal but is it possible to get perfect circles? or is that only a trick that the great martha can achieve?

Made tthis recipe per instructions with extra lemon zest and it was awesome. Most cookie recipes that ask for salt require 1tsp. No salty aftertaste, just rave reviews.

Too salty!! I made the cookies *exactly* as the recipe states, 1 t. Coarse Salt, Unsalted Butter. Strong salty aftertaste - so disappointed. I hope a glaze helps, otherwise I can't serve these.

These cookies are so good and the recipe doesn't need to have one change made. If you need to use margarine, then use it, other these cookies are wonderful just as the recipe reads!!!!!!!

Delicious light summer cookie! I use 3 tablespoons of lemon zest for more flavor and it was excellent. My family loves it! Easy to make - easy to gobble up!

In many recipes you can sub extra light olive oil for butter/margarine. Just look up the conversions online. Make sure you use extra light or you will taste the olive oil. It changes the texture a smidge, but I use it almost always for baking and it turns out great. Plus olive oil is good for you because its fats are monounsaturated. :)

I made these cookies for Easter. They are so-o-o good. They just melt in your mouth. I followed recipe and they were perfect...very easy to do.

I am going to try the key limes I just got. I always use butter, as I am allergic to soybeans, which is in EVERYthing. I use to do half butter/half shortning for some baking. I am also going to try the cookies with turbinado sugar to roll in.

Shortening other than butter can be used when making cookies. Depending on the shortening type, it will change the texture of the cookie to some degree.

Thanks everyone! Dairy allergies are so annoying and hard to work with so I have found a vegan margarine that is not bad at all, not like he eats tons of it. Everyone deserves a little baking once in a while!

To Joanneeg, I have a food processor and also a blender and mixer and I still prefer to use the old manual method of mixing and beating with the old wooden spoon. : ) Everyone loves all my baking. Also I only used butter once in my life for cookies and I did not like the results and neither did my husband so I went back to the margarine and good results every time. So go for it all of you. : )

How many cookies does this recipe make? (I searched the recipe and did not see a quantity. Maybe I missed it.)

I must be the last person on the planet without a food processor. Will this work with a blender or mixer?

I have made these using soy margarine.before, may need to add a little more flour, but not much. Works out fine. Disregard Saphie's remark about margarine. You do what's best for your son's allergy.

Do some research, you will see just how bad margarine is - not fit for human consumption!

How does powdered sugar work in the taste of the cookie vs sugar? I tried one recipe a few years ago with powdered and didn't like the flavor - maybe it was the recipe itself. I have been looking for a real good lemon cookie like the Lemon Coolers.

Can you use margarine instead of butter? My son has a dairy alergy...
