I made this recipe last night. The cookies are very good and I love how delicate they are. I cooked the filling as per the recipe says, on low. But after 20 minutes it was not getting thicker so I turned the heat to med/high and stir constantly. Then chilled in the refridgerator for 15 minutes. And they were great! i am going to try them again this weekend but increasing the quantity and with orange filling.

Absolutely TDF There are 27 recipes on RZ w/the words Better Than Sex in their title & none of them are cookie recipes. I know this because I checked after eating 1 of your cookies. IMHO, this recipe needs to be #28! I made a full recipe w/a 24 cookie yield, proving my instinct I made them larger than intended. The dough was very soft, but rolled easily in the palms of my hands w/care. The thumbprints nearly disappeared during baking, but I was watching & ready to fix that. When they came out of the oven, I used a rd plastic cap from a perfume bottle to reform the thumbprints while the cookies were still hot & soft. Worked like a charm! As good as the cookies are, the filling is the star here & is pure lemon heaven ! I will dust a few w/powd sugar for the pic & to be true to the recipe, but it is overkill IMO. They are just too good w/o it. Kudos to you for gifting us w/this 10* worthy & amazing recipe.

Great recipe--the cookies are so light and tender, and the filling is fantastic. I did have to reform the indentation after baking the cookies, but this is not a problem if you do it as soon as you remove the cookies from the oven--it needs to be done quickly before the cookies cool at all. Wonderful addition to my cookie trays--thanks for posting!
