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.

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.

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.

I love these cookies! They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. The lemon flavor is really refreshing and the cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. The lemon flavor was perfect and the cookies were so soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
