How To make Lemon Wafers

x

1/2 c Butter; softened

3/4 ts Grated lemon peel
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
This is the sort of wholesome little cookie that nannies, or mommies, used to give to good little children. They are a tiny bit chewy and seem to contain the hallucinogenic ability to bring visions of rocking horses, red balls, and blackboards sharply into focus." - Charlie Baden" Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two baking sheets and set aside. Beat butter and sugar in a medium-size bowl until well blended. Beat in egg, vanilla, and lemon peel. In another medium-size bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk until light and thoroughly combined. (Using a wire whisk to blend the dry ingredients makes sifting unnecessary in this case.) Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until well combined. Drop batter by rounded measuring teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and lightly browned around the edges. Remove from cookie sheets to write rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen. [Comfort Food, by Holly Garrison] These cookies start out as a misshapen blob on the cookie sheet, but when they bake they turn into perfectly round, puffed-up cookies. Absolutely the cutest thing... Light lemon flavor, and you can taste the egg in it.] -----
