These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I might try adding a little bit more flour next time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have needed to flatten them out a bit more before baking.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The lemon zest really shines through, and the powdered sugar coating adds a nice touch of sweetness. I highly recommend trying these cookies.
