Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • yellow food coloring (optional)
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line baking sheet with Silpat sheet if possible. Alternately, a good wipe of cooking oil sothe cookies will release.
  2. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and 1 cup sugar for 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically. Your butter will be light and only a wee bit fluffy but the sugar should be fairly disolved. Add the egg and contine to beat until combined and the batter is somewhat fluffy. Add the finely grated zest of two lemons. (I love my microplane for this.) If you choose, add one or two drops of yellow food coloring.
  3. Quickly mix together the flour, baking soda and saltin a separate bowl or on a sheet of waxed paper. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on medium speed for 20 seconds until they are just mixed together. Fold in the crushed lemon drops until distributed in the dough.
  4. Wrap the prepared dough in waxed paper and place in freezer for 30 minutes until firm.
  5. Place the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar in a smal, shallow bowl.
  6. Remove dough from freezer. Pinch off about a tablespoon and roll into a half inch ball. Roll ball in sugar until it is completely covered.
  7. Place cookies on sheets, spacing about 2 to 2 1/2 inches apart. (They do spread quite a bit.) Before baking, lightly press and flatten the balls with the bottom of a glass so that the cookies are about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Bake cookies until they are lightly golden, 9-10 minutes.
  9. After they comeout of the oven, allowthem to coolabout 2 minutes before transfering to wire rack to cool. Slide the spatula under the cookie carefully torelease any candy bits that may cause the cookie to stick to the sheet.
