    I made these again and baked it this time at 300F for 30 minutes and it was perfect! 5 stars!!
    I drizzled the cookies with a lemon glaze this time instead of the sugar topping. Delish!

    I think there was a mistake with the baking temp. and it should have been 300F for 35 minutes, not 350! I thought the temp was off but decided to try it at 350F but only baked for 20-25 minutes and they were golden brown all over and super crispy. So I am sure the bake temp. was off. After a couple days they softened and got that dense, chewy texture. **5 stars for flavour!!!
    Tips: -Mix the sugar and zest together first with a fork to allow the oils to come through and give more lemon flavour.
    -Dock the dough all-over with a fork before baking.
    -Cut into bars/squares while still hot! When cool, cut the score marks again to make sure the cookies cut well instead of crumble.
