Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Lemon is one of my favorite flavors.  I know it's an acquired taste for some, but I'm a big fan.  It was actually in my top three flavors for our wedding cake, but Carl liked raspberry better.  During our vacation to Italy we learned they love lemon, so I ate lemon desserts at least every other day for a week and washed them down with shots of limoncello - amazing.  Because of this affinity I have for anything lemon, I'm always game to try a new lemon dessert recipe.
