Lemon Cookies image

I made these lemon cookies for my Christmas cookie tray this year. They are a light a delicate cookie with a texture a bit like shortbread. I cut them into various shapes, including people and made them a bit like 'lemon bread men'. The recipe originally came from the UK TV cook Rachel Allen. I originally posted this trying to convert from grams to ounces and it was too confusing. So, I have put it back to grams :)

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good. I'll definitely make them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out a little dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These lemon cookies were a hit! They were so easy to make and had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making these again.
