Steps:
- Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
- Cream butter, add sugar slowly, mixing well.
- Mix in egg and lemon zest.
- 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° for 15-20 minutes, just until a bit golden on the edges.
- These last well if kept in a tightly covered container, and actually taste even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.
