Lemon Crisps

My sons friend was sick when he had his b-day party so Joel and his brothers came later and had some fun outside. Joel enjoyed these cookies and kept coming back for more. So, this post is for Joel so that his mommy can make these yummy cookies for him. I found this recipe in an old church cookbook of my mom's - you know, the kind that various individuals contribute to. I also made them with Oat flour so they weren't crispy, but they might be if you use white flour.

Lemon Crisps
1c shortening
1/2c sugar
1/2c brown sugar
1T lemon juice
1 egg
2 1/2c flour
1t salt
1/4t baking soda
1t lemon rind

Cream shortening and both sugars. Add lemon juice and egg, beating until well combined. Combine flour, salt and baking soda and add to sugar mixture, stirring well. Add lemon rind. Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 min.
