 |
 |
2 c. flour
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. cornstarch
1 c. butter, softened
1 egg yolk
juice and zest of 1 lemon
Combine flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl and mix with a wire whisk. (I often use this method when a recipe calls for the ingredients to be sifted).
 |
| Mix softened butter in with a spoon or spatula. I'm usually tempted to use the electric mixer because it goes quicker but, if you want the old-fashioned melt-in-your-mouth feel then you need to stir this one. |
 |
| Use a microplane grater or hand zester to scrape the zest from the lemon. You can use a cheese grater or chop with a knife if you're careful not to get the white pith in there too. (By the way, I'm loving my cute little pink vintage Pyrex ingredient bowls. I'd love to have a whole set of pink vintage Pyrex, wouldn't you?) |
 |
| I like to use a lemon juicer but you can squeeze the juice out by hand just as well! Then stir in the zest, juice and yolk until it's well blended. |
Scoop the mixture onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges and not doughy in the middle.
Here are a few of my favorites from last week's party:
Jennifer from The Crunchy Fry is an excellent resource on cloth diapering. I am learning so much and she's just about got me convinced!

Thanks so much for featuring Mumtopia. I just grabbed your button - feels like getting a Girl Scout badge :)
Thanks for the linky love. :) My husband ran across lemon extract in our spice cabinet the other day and asked what in the world we would ever use lemon extract for. Cookies of course! But this recipe sounds delicious!
These look and sound wonderful!! Happy VTT

Love lemon! Yum! I also love everything to do with tea! Thanks for sharing and HPS to you! I am new following you! I like your Scripture! : )
Those look so yummy, Sarah. I like anything lemony...Christine
Thanks for reminding me Sarah. I'll try to get something to show for the link up.
Dear Mrs. Sarah Coller,
Thank you for stopping by to see me and the information on how easy it is to hack in to someone's computer. I would have never dreamed it to be so even though my paypal account was breached twice...once in Arizona and once in Kentucky where they bought almost 500.00 worth of books...yes five hundred.
I HAD sent the person(computer) who sent it, an email...no return message
It must just be a fluke that you stopped by ON THE VERY DAY I RECEIVED IT as you follow the person(computer) who sent it...BE CAREFUL!!!
You only have 7 or 8 blogs listed as ones that you follow on your profile page. I SHOULD NOT SAY..."THE ONE WHO SENT IT" AS you say computers do it...but a person had to create the virus and then send it...so someone ????targeted her computer.
I was one of your first followers and it's been at least 2 years since you and I communicated.
I hope also you are well and happy.
CONGRATULATIONS on the precious new baby. They are just loaned to us by God to raise and train in the Glory of the Lord...I know you are doing that.
hugs
Thanks for linking up your lemon tea cookies.They look yummy! I'll try & pop back by later in the week again. Theresa @ DearCreatives.com
Thanks for hosting. I actually found your blog hop from doing the "Growing Home" blog hop. I am also your newest follower. (Hope you will return the favor). Anyway, I linked up #34, French Toast Casserole. I started my 1st ever link-up and it is live and I would love for you to come share something.
