Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
  2. Cream butter, add sugar slowly, mixing well.
  3. Mix in egg and lemon zest.
  4. Add flour/baking powder mixture, mix in well.
  5. Shape into balls about the size of a golf ball, place on pan, flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  6. Bake at 300° for 15-20 minutes, just until a bit golden on the edges.
  7. These last well if kept in a tightly covered container, and actually taste even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.
