So good! I added a bit extra zest and more fresh lemon juice (3 tsps) since I saw a lot of reviews mentioned that they could do with more

Really good. I want a little more lemon out of it but still good. I put white chocolate chips in them instead of rolling them in sugar.

My top rack cookies turned out different from my mid rack, but both still great!

The cookies are delicious I did use the zest of two lemons since we like an 8ntense lemon flavor in things.

Super good! I just added some extra lemon juice because the flavor wasn’t super strong

Great! Nice and soft too. I added a lot more lemon juice and a dash of lemon extract so it has a good lemon flavor

Quite lovely and yummy or my first go! Next time, I will need to make some adjustments for my oven and I think I added slightly too much flour.
