Notes

Use fresh lemons for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice won't give the same brightness.
If dough is too soft while rolling, chill for an additional 10 minutes.
You can freeze both the baked cookies and the dough; they stay fresh for weeks.
Experiment with variations like almond or lavender flavors for a unique twist.
