I collect recipes from all over the world, and when I find a great one, it goes in a binder to use again and again! Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
icing: |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
4 to 6 teaspoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and lemon peel; cut in butter until crumbly. Transfer mixture to a clean work surface; knead gently to form a smooth dough, about 2 minutes. (Mixture will be very crumbly at first, but will come together and form a dough as it's kneaded.) Divide dough in half.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat each portion into an 8x6-in. rectangle. Cut rectangle into twelve 2-in. squares; cut squares diagonally in half to form twenty-four triangles. Place 1-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lemon peel and enough lemon juice to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over cookies; let stand until set. Yield: 4 dozen.
