Preheat oven to 350 deg. Line cookie sheets with
parchment paper or butter them. Cream butter and
confec. sugar in large bowl of elec. mixer. Add egg
yolk, 2 T. lemon juice and lemon zest and beat until
smooth. Add flour and beat until well combined. Form
dough into 1 inch balls and place them about 2 inches
apart on prepared sheets. Flatten each ball with the
bottom of a glass dipped into granulated sugar to keep
it from sticking to the dough. Bake cookies in middle
of oven for about 13 mins., or until barely golden.
Transfer to wire racks. As soon as they are cool
enough to handle, dip top of each cookie in lemon
glaze made with 1/4 c. confect. sugar and 1 T fresh
lemon juice. Allow to cool completely and then store
in airtight containers for up to 1 week or in the
freezer for up to 2 months. Judy Garnett/NC PJXG05A
