GLEN OAKS INN - Lemon Delight Cookies

makes 3 dozen cookies

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons lemon peel

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

pinch of nutmeg

powdered sugar

Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, and beat until well blended. Add egg, lemon juice, vanilla extract and lemon peel until blended. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the butter mixture at low speed, blending well after each addition. Shape dough into 2 logs about 1 ½ - 2" in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours. They can be stored for up to three days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for a later time.

Preheat oven to 350° and place parchment paper on cookie sheet and spray with cooking oil. Slice the cookies ½ inch thick, coat them with powdered sugar and place them 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store them in an airtight container. If you have a sweet tooth, you can also dip the cookies again in powdered sugar before you serve them.
