Personal
Notes: 1) I always double the recipe, because the one listed above does not make very many.
2) I add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the cookie mix
3) I use FF sweetened condensed milk (save calories where you can ladies-lol)
4) I always put in more lemon peel than it says and more lemon juice. Usually takes about juice of 3 lemons (and the zest of 3 lemons) and I will either add a teaspoon of lemon extract or will squeeze in more juice from one of those concentrated lemon juice things you can buy (you know the kind where they are in plastic containers that are the shape of a lemon?)
