Soft Gingerbread Cookies !tweaked again!

Ok so last week I made soft gingerbread cookies and today decided to tweak them again.  I had the idea that gingerbread and lemon sounds good....so I figured a small amount of zest in the dough and combine the sugar dough is rolled in with a little zest to give more lemon flavour.  In making these I wasn't sure it would work....overwhelming response is that this is a great combination and the lemon doesn't overpower the ginger.  The cookies remained soft in texture and kept the classic round shape.  

The originals went over well too as always but the lemon ones seemed to have an extra element to them.
