This came from an old cookbook at my grandmothers. Sometimes when I make these, instead of sprinkling additional sugar and lemon zest on top before baking, I like to finely crush sour lemon candy and sprinkle lightly on each cookie. Press gently into dough and then bake. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 large egg yolks |
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup cornmeal |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar. Mix in egg yolks. Mix well.
2. Stir in lemon zest and flour and cornmeal.
3. Pat dough into a disc-wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 3-4 hours.
4. Roll out on floured surface about 1/2 thick or a little less.
5. Cut in desired shapes.sprinkle with additional sugar and lemon zest, if desired.
6. Bake in 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are just turning golden brown.
7. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to rack to cool completely.
