For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the dough along with the lemon extract. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

May 6, 2025The chilling time is key, as mentioned in the recipe. My first batch spread too much, but the second batch was perfect after chilling.

May 12, 2024I added a little bit of almond extract along with the lemon extract, and it was a fantastic combination!

Apr 30, 2024I used brown sugar instead of white, so they're a bit chewier and have a slight caramel flavor. Also, I added a pinch of sea salt on top of the sugar before baking, which brought out the lemon flavor.
