Lemon Drops

This recipe is so easy, and the cookies are soooooooo yummy! They are my favorite holiday cookie...fast and easy to whip up and take to a party at a moments notice. I like the lemon flavor because with all of the different chocolate goodies at parties, it's nice to have something a little tart!
