I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I actually really liked these cookies. They're not too sweet and the lemon flavor is very subtle.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
