AlmennDulnefni: So…where’s the recipe?
cluidc: How strong is the lemon flavour? I’m thinking I could use some very sour tangerines I bought and nobody is eating..
xopapop: Yeah, dang. OP deliver!
meggawat: I wonder if these would taste good with oranges? I have an orange tree that overproduces like nuthin’ else. Probably would need to decrease the added sugar, since oranges are sweeter than lemons…?
Runamokamok: Do they taste like the Girl Scout cookie “Savannah Smiles”…I think that is the name. Only had it once and only GS cookie that I ever liked.
quietquixotic: I love lemon cookies—actually, any lemon baked good. Thanks for the recipe!
coranado30: Lemon drops 😋
JohannesVanDerWhales: They look a lot like Russian tea cakes.
Rags2Rickius: Hmmmm
