Lemon Sugar Cookie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
nutmeg (optional)
colored crystal sugar (optional)

Preparation

Heat oven to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend together shortening, salt, lemon rind and sugar. Beat in egg and milk. Stir in all other ingredients.
Squish a roughly teaspoon-to-tablespoon-size amount of the dough, which is coarse until squished, and place in rows on a greased baking sheet.
For pizzazz, dust cookies with nutmeg or colored sugar.
Bake 6-10 minute until light golden. (Watch! They darken quickly!).
Tip: Use the rest of the lemon to make fresh lemonade, delicious!
