These cookies are on my top ten list. When I last baked them, I decided I’d add pistachios (about 1/2 cup chopped). This worked so well, I wanted to share. Thanks for the recipe!

Dear Joy,

Do you think that adding some dried lavender to it will destroy the taste?
I’m in a dilemma to what I should bake with both lemon and lavender, so I thought I could perhaps get your opinion in this!

Hi Joy!
I just made your Lemon Cookies… they were delicious! I had to tweak the recipe a bit to make it work for what I had. I did not have any lemon extract (and didn’t want to buy a whole bottle of it) so I boiled a 1/4 of a cup of lemon juice down to a tablespoon. (Similar to what another reader mentioned). This left my dough a little sticky, so I added a few more tablespoons of flour. I used salted butter rather than unsalted, but left out the 1/8tsp of salt. I had to use aluminum foil too, because I am too cheap to buy parchment paper. It worked fine! I made my first and second sheets of cookies small like yours. My last sheet I got lazy and made them regular sized cookies. These ones turned out softer and more cake-like/melt in your mouth! Next time I do this, I will make them all regular sized just because I like the soft texture more :) As soon as I took my cookies out of the oven I rolled them in powdered sugar to make them more “cloud-like”.
Thank you again for the recipe. I am new to your site/blog, and I absolutely love it! Your recipes, writing style, and passion is so inspiring!

These cookies are absolutely duh-licious! I consider myself an amateur baker, for I only do it when I actually have the time, but this recipe really inspired me to do more! As a lover of French cuisine (or French anything!) these had that je ne sais quoi that other lemon cookie recipes were missing! Thanks! ;3
