THIS recipe is from my Great Grandmother's collection. When people try one, they ask for the recipe. I always make it for Easter and Christmas and any other special event. The pecan on the bottom is a delectable surprise.

[email protected]These cookies were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly and they didn't have any lemon flavor at all. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I will reduce the amount of sugar by half.
