The subtlety of sweet lemon flavor hits the spot for me. I reduced sugar to 1/4 cup, but next time I might reduce it to 1/8 cup. I guess I'm having a hard time adjusting my brain to adapt to consuming basil as sweet treats. I rolled 1 T spoon of dough in a bowl of sugar before baking. I also added zest of a lime and half a zest of lemon. Sage bits might be an interesting addition next time..mm. Baking the second batch right now.

However, in this situation using 1/3 c. of dried basil would be outrageous. Also, the flavor would be quite different. I would suggest starting with two to three tablespoons of dried basil to see how the flavor comes through, and adjusting from there. Good luck! And please let me know how it goes.

The cookies look great. So creative! And I love the addition of lemon zest. I'm sort of sessed with the stuff recently. Put it in everything! :) Happy 4th!
