These cookies are a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon zest next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with chocolate chips. The cookies were still delicious!

The cookies didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
