Cinnamon Lemon Cookies

You won't believe how addicting these cookies are! I make these every year to go on the Christmas cookie trays, and they are always the first to dissappear. I got this recipe from a Great American Recipes card. Please note this recipe needs to chill at least 2 hours before baking.
