Lemon Tea Cookies

1 1/2t vinegar
1/2c Milk
1/2c Butter (1 stick)
3/4c Sugar
1 Egg
1t Lemon Zest*
1 3/4c Flour
1t Baking Powder
1/4t Baking Soda
1/4t Salt

Glaze:

Blend together 3/4c Granulated Sugar & 1/4c Lemon Juice*. Mixture will be grainy and produce a crispy top. Do not heat to dissolve sugar, as that makes for a sticky cookie.

Directions:

Stir Vinegar into Milk, set aside
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in egg and lemon zest
Sift together dry ingredients, and add to creamed mixture alternatively with milk mixture, beating after each addition
Drop a t full onto ungreased cookie sheets; bake at 350F for 12-14 min, and remove from sheets at once. Brush cookie tops with glaze. There is enough glaze to apply several times to each cookie.

Makes 4 dozen

*You should be able to get the required zest and juice from one lemon. To pick good citrus fruits, get one that's heavy for its size (that means it's juicy) and has a taut, unwithered skin.
