Directions:Preheat oven to 350
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the egg yolk, salt,water, lemon juice, grated lemon rind and vanilla extract. Beat in the flour. Form dough into a ball and wrap in waxed paper and chill for two hours.
Roll the dough thinly on a well floured surface. There is a proportion of butter to flour so if you have difficulty rolling the dough it can be kneaded to warm it up. Cut the dough into 1 1/4 inch circles and bake on unbuttered cookie sheets for 8 -10 minutes until the edges are slightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks. They will crispen as they cool |
