A question about lemon juice, lemon zest/peel, lemon extract

‎01-14-2012 09:30 PM

Hi there, ladies! The other day I copied (and tried) a recipe posted here for Zippy Iced Lemon Cookies. They came out rather crispy (wasn't expecting that), but more confusing to me was the fact that they didn't seem all that lemon-y. I had every ingredient down to a T as far as the posted recipe...except the lemon zest that was called for, but it was such a minimal amount, I didn't think it would make THAT much difference. Was that missing ingredient really the "make it or break it" to make my cookies more lemon-y? The cookies came out fine and I will most likely try the recipe again, but when I make something supposing to be lemon-y, I want it to be lemon-y (lol). These just really could pass for crispy basic cookies, imo. Any insight you ladies can offer is greatly appreciated.

Also, I wasn't prepared for them to be crispy cookies - are traditional lemon cookies crispy? (again, I followed the recipe to a 'T').

Thanks!
