Lemon Snap Cookies

I got this recipe from my foods class in high school my senior year. This was the only recipe that was worth keeping. These are also great if you substitute orange for the lemon in the
recipe!

### UPDATE: needs more lemon, and possibly leave out the ginger. Used yellow sugar to make it more yellow in color. Really needs more lemon. Thinking of adding lemon juice in the batter

2 C Flour
2 t Baking Powder
¼ t Baking Soda
1 C Sugar
3 T Sugar
3 t Lemon rind
½ t Ground ginger
6 ½ T margarine
2 t light corn syrup
2 t vanilla extract
1 Egg

Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, baking powder, and soda. Set aside.
In a mixer: Mix 1 C Sugar, 2 t lemon rind, and ginger for 1 min.
