I'm not a fan of lemon, but I loved these wafers. The lemon flavor is very subtle and the wafers are perfectly sweet.

I didn't have any powdered sugar, so I used granulated sugar instead. The wafers still turned out great, but they weren't as smooth.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in this recipe with chopped dried cranberries. They turned out great!

These lemon wafers are a great make-ahead cookie. You can make them a few days in advance and they'll still be fresh and delicious.

These lemon wafers are a delightful treat! The combination of sweet and tart is perfect, and the wafers are so light and crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.
