these were made for the cookie swap in December

1 cup real butter, softened
2 egg yolks
2 cups powdered sugar
2 1/4 cup flour
zest of one lemon, finely grated
sugar
Preheat oven to 350.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter and egg yolks together in a large bowl. Add powdered sugar and lemon zest, beat until well blended. Add flour and mix well. Form dough into 1" balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten the dough slightly with a cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass, dipped in sugar. Bake about 18 minutes. When cooled slightly, dip top of cookie into granulated sugar. Makes about 2 dozen
