Would not make this again.
I had alot of trouble with this recipe. I measured everything out. Did not have lemon so used orange zest instead. My cookies were very difficult to push through the press. I believe less flour could have been used. The cookies tasted a bit pasty as well. one star

Used my press for the first time on this recipe. Very easy and VERY good. It took a long time for the frosting to thicken, but it was worth the wait! five stars

Will try again but the difference of 30 seconds gave me burnt edges. I'll suggest that you error towards barely brown vs light brown. three stars
