Eureka lemons are the ones you most commonly find in grocery stores. Libson lemons are also commonly found in supermarkets but have a higher acidic level then Eureka lemons and are a bit more bitter, but juicy. Meyer lemons are not as common and have the least acidic level and are generally more sweet. When I made this recipe I used Eureka lemons and I thought the recipe turned out great, but I’m sure that Libson lemons would be good as well considering all of the sugar to help ease any bitterness, and Meyer lemons would probably also be good as well if you’re looking for a very sweet lemon cookie

Just what I was looking for. I can’t wait to try these lemon burst cookies. A zillion thank yous for this recipe.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it makes any difference whether I use Eureka lemons or Meyer lemons or Lisbon lemons? Any opinions on that? Where I live we don’t have easy access to fresh lemons but I can get them if I go online and just google ‘buy lemons online’ and am amazed at what I can order directly from growers. The nice thing about that is that if you order direct from the orchards, the growers pick them right off the trees and ship them direct — a tip I learned from my cousin in North Dakota. This way I get fresh lemons picked from the tree without all the time sitting in cartons, trucks and warehouses.

Hi Marketa,
I didn’t want to use a cake mix either so this is what I did and they turned out great so I thought I’d share. Just mix all of the dry ingredients (except the powdered sugar) first and then continue her original recipe. Use the following ingredients instead of the ones listed in her recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 cups sugar

3 cups cake flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 Tablespoon softened butter

Zest of 3 lemons

3 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar

Looks really beautiful. However… cake mix???? Seriously?!
I want to see what I’m putting into my food, not just have box of that and this mixed up.

Wanted to try this lemon cookie first before making them for a housewarming party in a week or so – they were superb. I did have to add 2 T. of all purpose flour to the dough prior to rolling it in the powdered sugar. I live in an area with high elevation and always seem to have to add a tad more flour – worked perfectly without messing with the lemony flavor. Also had to add 5 extra minutes to bake time. Wasn’t until after I made them that I saw the hint about getting the dough really cold first – never thought of that. But wanted those who live up in the mtns. to know that an extra couple tablespoons of flour will help bind it to make balls. Think I rolled mine in a little more powdered sugar as they came out more white than yours appeared to be in the photo. Great pictures by the way – very tempting. Love your blog. I’ll have to try the chocolate flavored ones- husband will LOVE those I’m sure. Thanks!

I made these with the addition of lime zest and lime juice and they came out pretty good. I think I added too much lime but they were still tasty.

Hi Samantha, I’ve never done the lime thing, but if you love lime go for it, I’m sure it would be great!

These are by far one of the best tasting cookies ever! Everyone I make them for falls head over heels for them! I was wondering if you have ever made them with lime juice/zest instead of the lemon for lemon lime cookies? It sounded good to me!

Dried blueberries are a GREAT idea!

Hi Rachel, I would use dried blueberries; fresh ones would add too much moisture to the cookies. Sounds delicious!

Do you think it would work to add blueberries to batter, or would that mess with the consistency? I’m trying to find some form of lemon/blueberry cookies for a friend’s bday present, and this recipe looks gorgeous.

LOVE the blog!
