So are these a crisp thin cookie or exactly how do they turn out?

these are not a crispy cook. They retain their shape when dropped onto the cookie sheet. They have a cake like texture. Moist. These are good to freeze once you have baked them, just don't frost them until you are ready to eat them. These are great during the summer or for a Christmas basket. I love the lemon flavor.
