  • 2 cups flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • the zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry (Or 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon water)

yolks and Sherry and mix.  Add to lemon mixture and knead
lightly until smooth.  Roll out 1/3” thick onto floured surface.
Cut into 3” rounds with a cookie cutter.  Place on a sprayed 
cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350° for 8-10 minutes, 
until lightly browned.  Cool on wire rack.
