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!”

oooh this sounds incredible! i will have to try it soon! thanks for sharing! :) :)
Anything you can use to replace the EO? None in my house, but the lemon cookies sound FABULOUS!
I made these today but my icing was like liquid and never hardened. I can’t figure out the ratio that’s listed in the recipe to the picture. I ended up making butter cream icing. I think they are a little dry. Cooked only 8 min. No golden edges but would have been really dry if I cooked them longer. Will try again but won’t bother with the icing recipe.
JW- Hope they turn out for you next time.
If you tint the lemon cookies or lemon frosting pink, you could call them pink lemonade cookies
Do you add the lemon zest and oil to the dough AND frosting, or just frosting?
Yes, add it to both the dough and the frosting. Enjoy!
Hi. This doesn’t seem to be my day. I have been trying to leave a comment but the link never comes up when I click on it, so I will just reply to this. I made these cookies today and wonder what I did wrong. I followed the directions carefully. I got 5 dozen cookies! The instructions say it makes about 2 dozen. Also, mine never turned golden brown on the edges like the pictures show. Even when I cooked them for 10 minutes. They aren’t as sweet as I expected so I added a bit of sugar on top before baking. What was I doing wrong? Thanks!
Also, are they supposed to be soft or crispy? Thanks!
They are both crispy around the edge and soft in the center.
Sorry you are having a difficult time. So the cookies are not golden brown around the edges. Sounds like that worked for you. Most of the sweetness comes from the frosting. Did you frost them? Also you could try using an ice cream scooper to portion them out. Not sure why the recipe made 5 dozen though. Hope this helps. Thanks.
These came out delicious, crispy on the edges is what I like especially with my morning coffee. I made two versions, half w/ mini chocolate chips and the other half lemon w/ lemon frosting. I’ve tried many sugar cookie recipes, these are the best I must say. So, glad I found your recipe.
So happy that you are enjoying them. They are so delicious!
Good golly, Miss Molly! These are perfect. First time out of the gate and they were excellent! Thank you for the terrific recipe. It will be added to my favorite recipe collection.
So happy that they turned out. They are so delicious!
It calls for 1 1/2 cup sugar—is that divided? Meaning 1 cup in cookie dough & the other 1/4 for the glass dipping or is the whole 1 1/2 cup for the cookie dough? Please clarify. I am looking forward to making these tomorrow evening to share with my mom & sis when they visit.
Use the 1 1/2cups in the recipe and just dip the cup into some more sugar. Hope this helps. Thanks and enjoy!

Do you freeze them frosted, or freeze unfrosted and then frost when you want to serve them?
You can freeze them frosted or not frosted. Enjoy!
Do you use all purpose flour?
Yes, I do. Enjoy!
Tried this for the first time last week … and already make a second batch. I think there was a small learning curve on making the balls/pressing the glass to get them to look good. Hubs was sure I was making them too big, but I like the look of them huge rather than small (we made some smaller ones too). The dough isn’t that sweet, but perfect with the frosting (which I thought would be more challenging to make, but it was a snap). Love how these turn out, and that you can put them in the freezer and pull them out later to eat … or eat them frozen! Just yummy! A new family favorite, I can’t believe it took me this long to try making these! (Not good for my weight-loss attempts though!) :)
So happy you enjoyed the recipe. They are so delicious!
Hey!!! My family loves these cookies. Is the dough a good dough to roll out and cook with cookie cutters???
Megan, I have never used it for cutouts. You could try it but it may not be as smooth as regular sugar cookies.
These are the best cookies!! They are soft & sweet & everyone’s favorite! Love the different versions!
Natalie- They really are SO GOOD!
Swig cookies are so good!! I could eat more than I should! I bet the lemon ones are delicious. I love lemon, so I’ll have to make those!
Kristyn- The lemon ones are delicious too! They are SO YUMMY!
