Notes
- Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your cookies a bright and tangy flavor, so it's worth taking the extra time to squeeze your own lemons instead of using bottled juice.
- Don't Overbake: Overbaking your cookies can result in a dry and crumbly texture. Keep a close eye on your cookies while they bake and remove them from the oven as soon as they start to turn light brown around the edges.
