Lemon Drop Candy Cookies

---

These cookies are fantastic! Crushed lemon drop candies just make these cookies burst with flavor. This recipe makes quite a bit of cookies and half were inhaled by my family by the end of the day. The recipe orginated by a lady named ann orton who was trying to duplicate a recipe that she had had at a restaurant in salt lake city. I have no idea what the originals tasted like, but these cookies would be hard to beat.
