This was amazing, I did ptinkers version - it was outstanding. I'm making another one for the next family gathering. Sweet but not too sweet. And so so simple.

This didn't have as much lemon flavor as I had hoped it would. It was also difficult to find lemon icing.

So easy and so good. Took this to a covered dish and brought home an empty dish.

I like being creative. I made the recipe as written but with these changes: instead of setting aside the 1/2 cup for the topping, I used all of it for the filling. Once the cake had totally cooled I put a layer of lemon pie filling on top and topped that layer with a layer of cool whip. Then I refrigerated until it was time to serve. Everyone loved the taste and they thought the layered look was very appealing. I have made it this way several times and everyone always ask how I made such a delicious dessert and for the recipe.Paul

I followed the recipe exactly as written, and so I'm surprised at the number of positive reviews. First, setting aside 1/2 cup of frosting to cover an entire 13 x 9 pan of cookies is definitely not enough. I struggled to get the frosting to form even a really thin layer over the cookies. So that's one negative. The other is that I did not like the consistency of the middle layer. The flavor was good, but the consistency was sort of rubbery. Or maybe meringuey. In either case, I ended up throwing out the whole pan and was very disappointed.

These are delicious! I served them to friends and they all thought they were awesome. My husband doesn't like lemon stuff usually but he commented how great they were because they weren't overly lemony. They're extremely easy to make, too!
