We added chopped toasted pecans and everyone loved them! (Even the ones who don't like nuts.)

I was automatically intrigued when I saw that both lemon and honey flavors were in these cookies. I made them once......and now, just like the intro says, I always have a batch freshly made and another log in the freezer! These cookies are superb.....whenever anyone.....family or friends.....try these cookies, they nearly always eat at least two more! The dough is a little too soft for the cookies to slice as perfectly as the photo shows, but the taste of these cookies is well, well worth the trouble!!

I was looking for a recipe with ingredients which I had on hand. I wasn't too sure about the lemon extract and cinnamon together, but I decided to give them a try. These are soooo good! I like the lemon flavor and the cinnamon gives them just a hint of spice. My whole family loved them. I will definitely make these again.
