This is a cookie recipe that I found folded up and tucked in between a few other recipes that my mom had in her shoebox. I remember these cookies as a cool summer treat on a hot day. They are bright and lemony with a cool finish.
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 stick butter
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
7 teaspoons lemon zest
1 cup minced nuts - optional
Beat the butter and sugar together, add the eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated, then beat in the lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and nuts (if desired)
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated
Drop by 1/2 teaspoon on greased cookie sheet
Bake at 375" for 8 - 10 minutes
Let cool and glaze
Lemon Glaze
4 cups of confectioners sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
Add the lemon juice by tablespoon to the powdered sugar and mix until desired consistency and frost the cookies with glaze. Sprinkle with yellow sugar crystals, if desired.
From my purple kitchen to you!
Enjoy,
S.
