S'mores Cookies for a cause

My husband and I are trying to adopt a baby and need as much help as we can get funding this crazy expensive endevor. We set up a webstore called  Sibling For Ambrose where we sell homemade dog biscuits, necklaces and pins that all have one thing in common, our dog-son Ambrose. While these cookies are not on the site, I had a special request to make them in exchange for a donation and I jumped at the chance. If you have a second, please read our story and check out our webstore!

Lemon Crinkles

These cookies are for those of you that prefer a cookie without chocolate or peanut butter. I don't get it but I know you people exist. This is a perfect recipe for me to make at home because my husband loves lemon and I could care less about these chocolate-free cookies, so I don't have to worry about eating any of them!
These cookies are soft and chewy, sweet with powdered sugar and tart with plenty of lemon zest and juice.
