The first batch went in one day. Made exactly as written. They are a little hard to mix towards the end, so I used my stand mixer. They do spread a little when baking, so slice a little thicker than you want the final cookie. Don't skip the glaze, I put it on all over the cookie like frosting. Adds the lemony tang we like. They stay soft a couple days in Tupperware (that's all they last before my husband eats them all :). Our new favorite cookie.
