Tips:

Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest will give your cookies the best flavor.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at too high of a temperature will make them brown too quickly and the inside will be underbaked.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
