Lemon Crisp Cookies

By delightfullyswt

The recipe was so easy to put together and was quick. The end cookie tasted a bit like a sugar cookie with a bit of a lemon kick. A little crisp on the outside and a wonderful chewy cookie on the inside. The lemon icing brings out a bit more of the lemon taste.
