Recipe Introduction


These last well if kept in a tightly covered container, and actually taste even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.


List of Ingredients




* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 egg
* grated rind of one lemon
Variants: Leave out lemon; add some cocoa; add GARLIC or dehydrated garlic soaked for 30 minutes in maple syrup & drained; pinch salt

Recipe



* Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
* Cream butter, add sugar slowly, mixing well.
* Mix in egg and lemon rind.
* Add flour/baking powder mixture, mix in well.
* Shape into balls about the size of a golf ball, place on pan, flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
* Bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes, just until a bit golden on the edges.
