Each one of these cookies has a citrusy zing and a light, crunchy texture. The star theme makes them ideal for the Christmas season. —Jacqueline Hill, Sandusky, Ohio

I did not like this recipe. These cookies did not have any flavor. They were very bland and the dough was dry and difficult to roll out. I will not be making this again.

I made these cookies with a bigger star!! I also added a bit more lemon peel. We loved them, the lemon taste was perfect. and decorating them make them perfect gifts. I think putting a straw hole in the top of each on before baking and putting a red ribbon on them would be a great for parties, put the names of each guest on them with edible markers. I also made some with blue glitter they also looked great!! I will def. be making this recipe for the yrs to come :)

This cookie was delicious! Very cute and fun looking and even better tasting! My cookies only needed to be in the oven for 5mins or they would burn. I got about three dozon or so. I left my dough in over night and it was very easy to work with and cut out. The frosting was very good and the lemon falvor was great. Everyone loved them at Christmas! I defently will be making again

If you like lemon, you will probably like these cookies. The recipe called for leaving it in the refrigerator for 3 hours before baking, but 1 hour sufficed for me. I thought the dough was easier to roll out than tradition cut-out sugar cookies. My family loved the lemon flavored frosting. A nice change and would make a nice summer "cooler" cookie. I would definitely make these again.

I used real lemon juice and some lemon pulp in place of the lemon flavoring... was the perfect amount of zing!

Very good. Great lemon flavor.( Need to use a good quality extract for best flavor). Very pretty with the yellow sugar. Will definitely make again for the lemon fans in my family.

This recipe did not turn out at all; not enough flour to even make it roll out; kept sticking to rolling pin. Had to keep adding flour to make it stiff enough to roll out; not a very lemon flavor to it. Won't make it again.

I bet Linda meant you could brush the cookies with corn syrup and then sprinkle them with Jello instead of using the frosting and colored sugar.

Use what corn syrup?? The jello idea works good.
