3/4 cup(s) cornstarch |
3/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg |
1 cup(s) butter or margarine (2 sticks) |
1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar |
2 teaspoon(s) lemon peel, grated |
Directions:

2. Form dough into small balls (3/4 to 1 inch). Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly to 1-1/2 circles with bottom of glass dipped in powdered sugar (approx 1/4 thick). Or use Rycraft cookie press.
