Lemon spritz

submitted by Mrs. T

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 Tblsp. lemon juice
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
Beat butter until light; beat in sugars until light and fluffy. Beat
in lemon peel and juice and egg to blend thoroughly. Sift together
flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture, blending well.
Fill the cookie press with one-fourth of the dough at a time. Use the
plates of your choice to press out cookies about 1” apart on ungreased
baking sheet. (I traditionally use the camel plate for these
cookies.) Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown on
edges. Remove from baking sheets to cooling racks. Makes about 8 dozen cookies.

These cookies have a very nice lemon flavor. It’s a change from the more traditional spritz flavors.
