SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars

INSTRUCTIONS
These cookies come from my most used books, Sweet Cristmas Cookin' by Mary Reynolds Smith, who lists as a plus for this recipe that it can be doubled and still turn out perfectly.

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 cup flour, unsifted
1/8 tsp. salt

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour, sifted
1/2 tsp, baking powder
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon ring
Confection's sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degress. Grease a 9" square pan or an 8 x 10" rectangular pan and set aside.

To make crust, cream butter thoughly. Add sugar, flour, and salt, continuing to cream until completely mixed. (This will be dry and crumbly.) Spread over bottom of pan, and press down with hand firmly and evenly to form crust. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, beat eggs slightly and mix in by hand (do not use mixer)sugar, lemon juice, and lemon rind. Fold in flour and baking powder and pour over cooled crust. Bake 20 minutes. cool on rack, and dust with confectioner's sugar before cutting into squares.

Spread the word
