ISO Extraordinary Lemon Cookie that Holds Together
HI Friends,
If anyone out there can let me know about a source for an extraordinary lemon cookie I would appreciate it The one I have is out of Martha Stewart and extraordinary...but does not hold together.
The cookie turns out lacy (yes I have chilled it several hours,) and breaks into many pieces. Any ideas appreciated.
Best,
Stephanie
There are two cookies that I love. Dorie Greenspan has re-created the classic sable in her book Baking, From My kitchen to yours.

These are the traditional French coookies; I believe these are the type for which you are looking.
I have also made Light Lemon Sugar Cookies from America's test kitchen. I brought them to a party and they were devoured. If you have an account with them you can try it at this link

The first link requires a log in to an American newspaper.
The second link requires a membership in a website. They offer a trial membership before they bill you. Using a throw-away login (using bugmenot), here's the recipe from the newspaper:
(re-printed for non-profit use, legal in my country, if not in your's do not read or bake these cookies I suppose)
I greatly appreciate the recipe...thanks for taking the time

I have seen it a few times and google doesn't seem to find a correct context definitiion.
I am probably demonstrating either my age or social naivete here but then again, those qualities make me willing to ask.
Well, it could mean International Standards Organization, but in this case I think it is:
ISO = in search of
sPh
Hi Clazar,
I like you was clueless at one time! The current definintion is In Search Of.
Thanks,

Hi Clazar,
Just to clarify. It has also taken me many clarifications to comprehend the new 'short' lingo that goes with texting. There is still much that I don't comprehend!

Google needs a little help to understand that you're looking for a slang definition rather than some sort of "official" acronym. To find terms like this using Google, also include the word "netlingo" (or "lingo") ...in other words do a Google search for something like this:
netlingo ISO
(or perhaps lingo iso )
Hi Chuck,
good idea, texting has created a bunch of lingo that I am only learning about.
Thanks,
Stephanie
I've successfully adapted Martha Stewart's giant sugar cookie recipe to make it lemon. I added finely grated lemon zest and some lemon extract in addition to the vanilla extract called for in the recipe. These are drop cookies and a bit on the cakey side, but generously lemon-flavored and do not fall apart.
Here's the link:

If for some reason the link doesn't work go to www.marthastewart.com and search "giant sugar cookies" there.
Appreciate this very much; I have a real "ick" when I see crisco in recipes...just can't bring myself to use it even though I know it creates glue. A relief to know that there is another option!
Best,
Stephanie
