    Very Good
    I used my garden fresh basil, but made only 3 dozen. I baked them longer and sprinkled powdered sugar on top after baking. I also used salted butter in the batter and baked them on parchment paper. I taste basil more than lemon in the finished product. - 8/23/20

    Incredible!
    These look so good, but it would be hard to eat just one, but it is possible! Thanks for posting. - 11/9/11

    I freeze them in little ziplocs...two or three to a baggie then only defrost them when I want some...keeps me from eating all of them in one shot!
