Hi Claire, I wonder if you used the spoon and level method to measure your flour: https://www.loveandlemons.com/how-to-measure-flour/

The dough came out far too dry for me to be able to roll it out. I had to re-work in about another two tablespoons of softened butter and another tablespoon of orange juice – then it was just fine.

If I try this recipe again, it’s possible that I will reduce the flour to just one cup, instead.

In reply to Sheila. Did you chill the dough before baking? I usually chill mine overnight to stop this..lessons learned

Hi came across your recipe, as my measurements in Australia, what country are you from so I can covert the measurements. Thank you.

Tip; put the zest in the sugar before adding it to the butter::: massage with your hands until the sugar changes color, gets softer and smell delightful. Your cookies will be so much more flavorful!

In reply to Sheila. Hi Sheila, did you use regular unsalted butter and did you chill them the full amount?

I don’t know what I did not do correctly but these cookies spread out a mile. Any thoughts as to what went wrong?

Hi Sarah, I wonder if your cutter used more surface area than my little stars. It can also vary depending on the thickness you roll them. I’m glad you enjoyed!
