Reviews
I have made these cookies many times over the years and they are delicious! When the ingredients are measured correctly, the dough is supple and very easy to work with, not crumbly at all. It is a great cookie for folks with egg and nut sensitivities.
Although the cookies did taste good, the dough was an absolute nightmare to work with. It was so crumbly, due to the lack of eggs or milk or water or anything to provide some moisture. I'm at a loss to know how anyone could roll out this dough. The cookies did taste good but they weren't worth the effort.
This is the most amazing cookie I've ever tasted. It taste like a slice of lemon pie. Everytime I've made these people rave.
