I love to package up these tart, tender cookies to share with friends! You could spread them with buttercream or cream cheese frosting to turn them into sandwich cookies. And they'd be delicious dipped in white chocolate. -Ilana Pulda, Bellevue, Washington

I'm not a huge fan of lemon flavored desserts, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The frosting is what really made them for me.
