Hi everyone,

I'm desperately searching for a good recipe that makes crisp lemon cookies; preferrably one that spreads well when baking...can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance,
Ginny

Define level of crispness. Do you want like a florentine crispy (don't have anything like that) or thin, crispy around the edges slightly chewy toward the center with lots of natural lemon flavor (I have one of those)?

I'd be happy to post mine if that is what you are looking for.

Yes that sounds totally like what I am looking for - I would love your recipe please!
