This is a favorite cookie that my sister used to bake when we were kids. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening |
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream the shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the egg, lemon peel and extracts; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate dough for 1-2 hours or until firm.
2. Shape dough in to 1-in. balls; roll in remaining sugar. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork, forming a crisscross pattern. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 2 dozen.
