Rolled Sugar Cookies with Lemon

There are times when rolled cookies just do NOT come out the way you want them too.  They spread and fatten - like this hilarious pin on Pinterest - and it can be very frustrating.

However, I found this recipe that truly delivers on its name - The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies. 

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of just plain sugar cookies, so I added some lemon zest to freshen up the flavor and to make them more appealing to my citrus-loving fiance for his birthday.

I think Elliot liked them too. :)

Again, I used my 100-piece cookie cutters and loved the results.  The letters definitely look like children's refrigerator magnets. Haha. But we love babies, so that's okay with me.
