What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

OTHER ORGANIZATION PROJECTS
If you are interested in taking a deeper look into some of the spaces in my home, check out the following posts!
I’ve made a batch of those and they are delicious!
Does the icing take long to dry? Or does it remain soft and sticky?
Thank you for a great recipe!
I was able to stack the cookies about an hour after making them!
The dough was crumbly to turn to a ball. I thought I’d add a tsp of water. They cracked after baking. Did not hold any shape. I had exact measurements and followed the instructions, I wonder what went wrong.
Fran- So sorry they did not sure out for you. I have not experienced this before. Hope you give them another try.
Lemon cookies sound wonderful .going to make them .shue
So do you use fresh squeezed lemon juice or bottled???
For this batch I used fresh squeezed lemons, but I have made it with the bottled lemon juice and they both work great!
I LOVE lemon! Does just the 1.5t and 1T make
them lemony enough? Would they still cook properly is I added more lemon juice? Thanks!
They taste pretty lemon-y to me…you could always add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky…but I think you would probably be fine!
You can add a little fresh lemon zest if you want to have them more lemony.
I didn’t read through the ingredients all the way and have just creamed the butter and powdered sugar and realize I don’t have any cornstarch. What can I substitute? Thank you.
I went ahead and made the cookies without cornstarch. Instead I used my “00” fine flour that I normally use for pizza crust. It is a lot finer than regular flour. I didn’t swap it out 2-1 like most sites say to do with flour for cornstarch. The cookies are delicious, although a bit fragile.
Thanks for sharing! Yes…they are a bit delicate!
I love lemon but I really don’t like any kind of zest. If I just leave it out, would I need to replace it with anything?
These were wonderful! My daughter’s basketball team made it to the championship game. The team’s color was orange, and we had a box of oranges fresh from Florida, so I substituted orange for the lemon…. Heavenly! Thank you!!
Yum!!! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing…and congratulations to the team!
Approximately how many cookies does this recipe make? They sound wonderful!
About 3 dozen depending on the size you make the cookies.
can these be frozen?
How long in advance of serving can these be made? Can they be frozen? I want to make for my daughters wedding reception but I obviously don’t want to be cooking the day before…
Thanks! Nancy
Nancy, You can refrigerate them or freeze them. They are a great cookie for that. I would make a batch and freeze and then defrost first. Just to give it a test run, before making them for your daughters reception.
I think I’m going to make these for my mom for mother’s day. Any tips on how to package them so they won’t be a pile of crumbs when I get to her house?
Also an FYI, the printable recipe leaves off the step about roll into 1″ balls and place on a GREASED cookie sheet (might be important – I caught that and just wrote it in but wouldn’t want anyone else to bake up a pile of cookies that won’t come off the sheet)
Thank you for catching that! They are really fragile. I would try to package them so that they are only in a layer of one or two at most.
When I was a child ( and I’m now a grandmother of 11 (soon-to-be12!) I started making these incredible cookies every Christmas. They are actually called Swedish Melting Moments and when you taste them you’ll know why! I believe I pressed them with a glass BEFORE putting them in the oven but that is the only difference! Enjoy! Oh, the other recipe I made with the Melting Moments was Mamie Eisenhower’s Fudge which I got from the San Diego Union! Great memories!

So glad I came across your site will be making the lemon cookies today, know they will be great…thank you
Donice- Hope you enjoy the recipe!
So soft & refreshing!! These cookies are a hit & the hint of lemon makes the cookies irresistible!
Natalie- They really are so good!
I just ate dinner, but these cookies still looks amazing. YUM!
Ivory- You should make some! They really are just as tasty as they look!
Lemon cookies have become a favorite of mine! They are perfectly soft & that icing is so smooth & delicious!
Kristyn- So happy you enjoyed them!
What if I wanted to “squish them down” with a cup (or form them into cookies) even before starting to bake? I don’t get why they have to bake a bit, then squished, & re bake… would they be fine if you just started baking in an actual cookie form as opposed to a ball?
Thanks in advance ❣️
Jolene- It is more for the look and size of the cookie. I don’t think they would cook evenly if you didn’t use the cup to flatten them.
