kate's awesome lemon cookies with white chocolate chips

My husband went to a barbeque with some friends from work and came home with this recipe which is very uncommon.  He said Kate's cookies were awesome.  Last night he let our kids help him make them and they turned out GREAT!  I saw how the kids plopped down the cookie dough and the cookies still baked up just right so I consider this a fool-proof, kid friendly recipe.  Thanks, Kate, for sharing your recipe!
