The cookies were great. I cruchsed the lemon drop candy like the powder sugar and rolled the cookies in both and it came out great. It was a big hit on Christmas!

This is my second year making these cookies. They received rave reviews last year, especially from the younger crowd. I took elzorro's suggestion and used lemonade mix instead of candy and I add 1/4 cup water.

I found these cookies a little dry. Tasted them without the topping and were very dry, with the topping they were better but still not the texture I was hoping for. Looking for a solution to make them more moist.
