These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time, I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using a sweeter citrus fruit, like oranges or grapefruit, if you don't like things too sour.
