1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind


Recipe



Sift flour, cornstarch, salt and nutmeg onto wax paper.
Beat butter, sugar and lemon rind in a medium-size bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Pack into airtight containers and sore up to 1 week.

Note: Cookies can be put together in pairs a follows: Cook 1/2 cup apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon sugar in a small saucepan for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool, then spread just enough of the mixture between pairs of cookies to hold firmly.
