Thin, Crispy, Lemon Cookies image

I actually was hoping for a soft, thick sugar cookie, but I got a thin and crispy one. THe flavor was still amazing, and I still did like the crispyness. I may come out with a thick, soft, chewy, lemon cookie in the near future....

These cookies are the perfect way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.
