These are probably my favorite cookies ever. I’ve been making them since at least 2009 when I spotted them on your blog. I’m about to make them this weekend again and am going to try out something new. I hope I don’t ruin the loveliness that are these cookies! I’m going to use meyer lemon instead of regular (because that’s what’s growing on the fruit tree) and I’m going to attempt to incorporate raspberries or blackberries into the glaze. Fingers crossed!

in the quest for a cookie suitable for a summer pig roast, i selected this recipe. i substituted fresh lemon juice for the buttermilk/vanilla in the glaze for a tangier finish. and i won two awards–most creative, and best all-around. thanks for a zesty treat!

I realize this post is a year old, but I just wanted to say these were DELICIOUS! Wonderful little cakey bites of goodness! Thank you for posting a halved version of the recipe. I ate way too many and would have eaten many more if I'd baked up a whole batch! Yummy!

These are SO delicious! I just finished your book (loved it and can't wait to try the zucchini noodles) and discovered your blog.I made these cookies on a whim, for dinner with some in-laws, and the 4 kids and 4 adults devoured the entire batch. I will definitely be making these again!I followed the recipe except I used bleached flour since that was all I had. Excellent!

For the people that had trouble with them spreading out, I would suggest chilling the dough before baking, or even chilling the cookie sheet with the unbaked cookies. I just did this as a precaution, after reading about some of the problems….turned out great. And yes, I know that this recipe is not traditionally Christmas material, but I like to throw one item into my gifts that’s not full of chocolate and/or copious amounts of butter. But just one!

Had the buttermilk and it was past expiration date so I thought I better finally do these cookies. They are wonderful. Simple, refreshing and just right for a hot summer day when you do want a cookie. My old father will love these, his batch is ready to be delivered. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of Edna Lewis again, made me buy one of her cookbooks.

Oh, these absolutely deserved a shout. I made them as soon I got that issue and they were unbelievable! Unfortunately, I was the only one who thought so – others clamor for chocolate chips. But they’re worth making for myself once in a while. And they are really, really good with lemonade.
