1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400 F. In a medium bowl, beat together butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the lemon peel, flour and salt until well combined.

2/3 cup white sugar
1½ teaspoons lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1½ tablespoons butter
Combine the beaten egg, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and butter in the top of a double boiler. Stir until thick. Drizzle over cookies.

My mother absolutely adores these! I use a slightly different icing, made of just lemon juice and confectioner's sugar, and brush it over the top for an extra tangy glaze. My niece demanded that I do a similar version with cherry extract and maraschino liquid for the glaze, and it works equally well. These have become a fast favorite for piano recitals, teas, and even elementary school parties! 5 stars

Would make this again.
Pretty good, but could use some more flavor in it, like some type of extract. Over all very good and light. 4 stars
