I really love your recipies have tried several–the rest will be in my recipe box waiting for me to make. However, I have found that many of your cookie recipies do not have the number of cookies that the recipe makes. When I bake cookies I share whatever I make with my family & friends, so it is essential that I know how many cookies that recipe makes. Could you please add that information to your recipies? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your yummy recipies with us!
Hi Paulette – a great suggestion. You’re right, I have been a slacker in doing that. Sometimes they get gobbled up so quickly around here, it’s hard to keep track. 🙂 If you make a batch, please leave a comment on that post and let me know. Generally most my cookie recipes make 2 1/2 dozen cookies. I’ll try to do better. Thanks!
I’m mixing up a batch right now. I do have a question for you… the package calls for the addition of an egg and either I’m doing something wrong or it needs more liquid. Help please! 🙂
Thanks so much for catching that error. I have updated the recipe to include the egg. Thanks!!!
This sounds really Citrueasy (Citrusey and easy)!
These look wonderful Barbara, I love lemon flavored anything!
I always get a craving for lemon right after Christmas. These sound like a refreshing treat after all the holiday chocolate!!!
i love citrusy cookies! these look delightful – i’ll definitely give them a try!
Well, I certainly know where to refer to if ever I’d desire this much lemony flavour in one dessert treat ;o)
Flavourful wishes…and happy continued holiday baking,
Claudia

So like you, lemon drop cookies. Is it very similar to your other version that were so wonderful? My mouth is watering just thinking about them 🙂
These sound like the last word in lemon cookies.
The lemon cookies look delicious.
I think I will give the recipe a test drive 🙂
Happy baking.

MMMMMMMM,..Lucky family members!
Lemon cookies always make me feel like it’s springtime, even when I’m eating them on a cold winter’s day. What a wonderful treat!
Lemon is my weakness. These look delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
My friend Libby would love these!
Delicious lemon treats. I was planning to make some drop cookies for long time.
you are the queen of drool worthy lemon treats! yummy! my grandmother would love you 🙂
Sugar cookies with lemon are one of my favorites! The glaze on top makes them perfect.
I’m so glad you’re still posting cookie recipes, Barbara! I adore those lemon candies. What a super idea to incorporate them into cookies and then use fresh lemon juice as well. Can this recipe be any easier?? I love it!
You have no idea how addicted I am to lemon/lime cookies, desserts… These cookies look wonderful!
