Orange/Lemon Crisps

Orange/Lemon Crisps are delicious light cookies that let you know when they are done by developing a toasty brown rim around the outside. Use orange zest for Orange Crisps and lemon zest for lemon crisps. I like them plain and simple; but if you prefer more sweetness, ice them with a confectioner’s sugar glaze.
