I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

I didn't have any lemon zest, so I used lemon extract instead. The cookies still tasted great.

I'm gluten-free, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cookies turned out great!

I made these cookies for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes! I'll definitely be making them again.
