Shortbread Like Mom Makes Recipe

	Elle / All my dishes 2 years, 8 months ago This is different than most shortbread recipes, because it has an egg in it. This makes the most delicious shortbread, with just a hint of lemon. These are a staple in our house at Christmas. The recipe is from my grandmother, and my mom and I made them together every year. ... More Prep:15m Cook:15m Servings:60	Elle

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

grated rind of one lemon

Directions

Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.

Cream butter, add sugar slowly, mixing well.

Mix in egg and lemon rind.

Add flour/baking powder mixture, mix in well.

Shape into balls about the size of a golf ball, place on pan, flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.

Bake at 300° for 15 to 20 minutes, just until a bit golden on the edges.

These last well if kept in a tightly covered container, and actually taste even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.

I remember my mom would make homemade short bread during berry season. After being out in the berry patch all day it was so nice to have this for dessert.
