Lemon Snowcap Cookies.........here's the recipe

[Guest guest]

There's a Hallmark store near my house and this little sweet retired lady works

there on weekends to keep busy. She has extra time on her hands and is now be

able to do all her baking and share her luscious treats with customers. I gave

her my full book of postage stamps and a self addressed envelope since she was

kind enough to send me this recipe on a day off. These are the best and I've

eaten a lot of cookies in my day. Hope you enjoy! Love, Donna

 

LEMON SNOWCAP COOKIES

 

1/2 stick softened butter

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. lemon extract

1 tbsp grated lemon peel

1 3/4 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup coconut

1 cup macadamia pieces

2 eggs (I use large)

(powered sugar to roll cookies in)

 

Preheat over to 350 degrees

 

Cream butter and sugar. Add lemon peel, eggs and extract.

Stir in flour and baking powder. Add nuts and coconut.

Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place on greased cookie

Cool a minute or two and remove to wire rack and sprinkle powered suger over

Hey Donna, you better share some of those

cookies! hehehe

They sound wonderful.

i guess with spring finally here [at least in my region]

we have been more busy outside doing things and

spending less time in the kitchen. This weekend we

washed our windows and pruned all the trees and

shrubs around the house. i did manage to find a really

easy and delicious recipe for a shepherd's pie that i made

vegetarian by substituting veggie ground for the meat in

the original. i'll post it next.

begging for this recipe and finally got a copy.
