Lemon Cookies

Recipe courtesy of nataliec99

»1 1/2 sticks margarine, softened (6 ounces)
»1 tbsp lemon juice, at room temperature  (I add a little extra)
»1 tsp lemon peel, finely grated
»2 1/4 cups unbleached flour
»1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
»1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven at 350°. Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a mixing
bowl, combine margarine, lemon juice, and lemon peel. In another mixing
bowl,
combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients
just
until moistened. Spoon dough into a cookie press (with desired shape
template).
Press cookies about 2" apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12
minutes,
or lightly browned.
Makes about 3 dozen.

NOTES: I don't use a cookie press; I just roll the dough into small balls.
Also,
I sprinkle extra powdered sugar over the cookies after they bake
