The Prefect Cookie For Autumn - Ginger Lemon Crinkle Cookies - A Great Recipe For Bake Sales

I made these cookies for the EGC bake sale at PS1. They were a great hit! I just love a good bake sale, with lots of different treats to choose from, and all the money going to a good cause. I was told I my baked goods help raise over $300. Wow! I wish I could have stopped by, but I had hospital appointments that day, so I couldn't see what all was donated, but it must have been good, because they raised a lot of money. I did sample a cookies and they were so good. Just make it. Enjoy, Michael P.S. Don't forget to hit like and subscribe. In a medium bowl, pour 1/3 cup sugar and the zest from 1 lemon.
