Making Old Fashioned Lemon Butter Cookies Recipe

My great aunt who is 83 years old has been baking and cooking all of her life. When I was a little girl, I could remember spending countless hours with her in the kitchen and learning just about everything I know today that pertains to baking.

This is a recipe she started making back in the 1960's and to this day, its one of our family's favorite cookie recipes. Back in the 1960's money was tight so women used to whip up recipes using the common ingredients they usually had on hand.

If you love lemon flavored cookies, then give this recipe a try.

Lemon Butter Cookies

1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
additional sugar

*note* I like a lot of lemon flavor, so when I make Auntie's recipe, I increase the lemon juice to 4 tablespoons and I always use fresh lemon juice that I personally hand squeeze. (I don't use the bottled lemon juice).

Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, lemon juice, lemon peel, baking powder and salt. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. (make sure you refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours but no longer than for 4 hours).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough, a small portion at a time on a well floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Keep remaining dough in the refrigerator. Cut dough with 3" round cookie cutter. (you can also use a round biscuit cutter which I find easier to use than a cookie cutter).

Transfer cookies to a ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. I lined my cookie sheet with a Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat and I am so glad that I did! They just slid off the mat when they were done and they were evenly baked.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Additional Note: The thinner you roll out the dough, the less baking time it will need. So if you like thick cookies, roll out your dough thicker than described above but you will need to increase your baking time by 1-2 minutes.

How do I get rid of my scar? Someone please help...its so embarrassing?

I took a brown recluse bite to the face about 8 months ago. The wound is now healed, but its left a crater in my cheek. Its the area right next to my nose.... I've used vitamin e, mederma, cocoa butter, cetaphil lotion, silicon sheeting (but not for the recommended amound of time), triple A ointment...I tried exercising to improve circulation, massaging etc...

it is basically an 8 mm in diamter pit in my face.. its reddish and not the same color as the skin surrounding it. sometimes it hurts.. the doctor said its totally healed and fine and that not much can be done for the scarring unless I want a skin graft...i have no insurance. anyone know any brands that could help or home remedy? pleeaasse and thank you

I wouldnt worry about it. But because you are......there is really not many ways to get rid of a scar. you could try makeup or those exspensive things they say to use on tv. just when ever you go into the sun, make sure you load it with sunscreen. because if it gets burned you get get it irritated and it can get worse.
