Time 30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing cookie sheets, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. Grease 2 cookie sheets with 1 tablespoon of the butter or line sheets with parchment paper. Cream the remaining butter. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until blended. Add the egg, vanilla, lemon rind and milk. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat until smooth.
