My wife and I made these today, and they're wonderful. We didn't have a lemon around, so used some key lime zest we had stored in the freezer (wonderful!). We were short on time, so we just balled and baked... and I was wondering, when you've done that, do they end up having a hard time staying together? We had quite a few where the middle separated from the outer shell, and I don't think any of them really had a good bottom on them. No bottom browning at all, even though the edges started to. Any thoughts as to why? We did have a fun thought because of this mishap, however. We made a royal icing, as you suggested above, and I just made it a little thick, slathered it on the bottom of one cookie and sandwiched it with another. Delightful! Anywho... great recipe, thanks for posting it. So, I’m much more a cook than a baker, but I like to dabble. My wife and I made these today, and they’re wonderful.

I thought about leaving out the egg yolk for the same reason... glad to hear it works just as well without :) Taste always trumps looks.

They are no where near round- look kind of like poker chips that have been run over by a train, but who cares? they taste just as good.
