    I made these for a get together today and they were very nice.
    Lemon Drop Cookies

    1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
    2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
    3 eggs
    1 1/2 cups lemon chips
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
    In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; beat in lemon extract and peel. Beat in eggs until well blended. Mix in dry ingredients. Stir in lemon chips` and chopped walnuts. Drop cookie dough by teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheet; bake at 350° for about 12 minutes.

    If you can't find the lemon chips, vanilla chips will work too.

    I have a lemon tree, too, but it only makes pretty flowers. No lemons are forming.
