These look and sound amazing, but what are Lemonheads? Can we replace them with any other sort of lemon candy do you think?
i’m not a fan of lemonheads really, or lemon flavored baked goods in fact.. but for some reason these sound SO delicious?! they look yummy!
Becky- the yellow rimmed glass is from Anthropologie. 🙂
These must be super yummy!!! =)

Ooh these look so yummy! And how wonderful that thy have lemonheads in them. Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
Ooo! My mouth is watering at the thought of that sour citrus… Delicious!
I’ve never heard of Lemonhead candy before. I wonder if they are an American only candy? (I’m from Canada) These cookies look delicious though!
Amazing! I will definitely try! And pinned to remember later.
Thanks

Lemonheads are my mom’s favorite! She’s recently had dental work done and hard candy just isn’t happening, I’m totally going to whip these up for mother’s day and send them her way.
(Do you think they can withstand the mail? We’re far apart this year!)
Oh my word, these look amazing!!
Oh my gosh, these are definitely my next project. Sounds fantastic!

I’m a sucker for cookies! Not sure how I feel about crushed lemon heads in there, but I’m sure the flavor is awesome 🙂

They look amazing, though I have no idea what lemonheads are. They look like yellow skittles!

Sounds especially yummy! I love the sweet-and-sour kind of savour-y feeling. { http://www.jupiterskye.com }
Please Emma, make sure Elsie tastes some of those cookies, she looks so fit in the last pictures!!!
I’ve never had lemonheads before (you can’t get them in the UK), but they look a bit like skittles, I wonder if you could make the same things using skittles to make rainbow cookies…?! p.s. I love the photos, they all look yum.
Yum!
I want to make these as soon as i get home! Delicious!

Help! I’m making these right now and the batter is too runny to make a ball. What did I do wrong?
The batter is delicious though 🙂
HOLY CRAP I can’t wait to try these
YUMMM! Omg, I need to make these ASAP. My husband is obsessed with lemon anything. This is perfect.

oooooh yeah, that looks goooood :9
I´m giving them a try, too much chocolate in my kitchen lately! I love your recipes 🙂
I bought the stuff to make these today! I am so excited! Thanks for the recipe!
My 16 year old son and I have always had a “thing” for lemonheads. I’ll have to make these for us, they sound divine!

Yummy great styling too. They look delicious..do you think they would work without the lollies? Would you add extra of sugar or lemon to replace them?
My daughter and I made these today for her to give to her teacher for teacher appreciation week next week. However, as good as they taste, they did not look anything like the pics. I knew something went awry when my final batter was more droopy and a little thicker than cake batter than like play doh, like in the pictures. However, I soldiered on and after a roll in the powdered sugar, they held their shape and I baked them as directed. Imagine my sadness when they came out flat as a pancake and forming one large rectangle.
I checked and double checked that I followed the recipe and included everything in the right measurements, so I wonder what possibly could have gone wrong? I’d like to try another, prettier, batch as soon as I can…..any help is appreciated. Thanks!
PS they really do taste yummy! 🙂
Nerd confession: Besides looking totally gorgeous, I want to make these cookies because I feel like they’d be Dumbledore’s favorite. That makes my heart happy.
Oh I love lemon flavored things! These are so cute and look so delicious!

These are so delicious! I know from other comments that a few people have had issues with making these (I’ve been there – many a baking fail in my past), but I made these this afternoon and ours turned out really well. My kids adore them, and I may need to have my husband hide them from me! Gooey, lemony goodness…
I’ve made these twice now (forgot to check back on the first batch and they burnt) but both times I’ve had to add more flour just to be able to form the dough into a ball. Is anyone else having this problem or is there something I’m doing wrong?
These look so fun and tasty – I also love how you co-ordinated with the glass, very cute 🙂
Soo yummy! I used to eat lemonheads as a child. I must try this!

Great Idea. I would always eat a box of lemonheads at the movies when I was younger. Yummy! Yummy!
