Ingredients
  • 8 oz butter
  • 8 oz sugar (less 1 tbsp)
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz plain flour, sifted
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp S.R. flour
  • 6 drops of lemon essence
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter and sugar until almost white.
  2. Add the egg and lemon essence and mix well.
  3. Add the sifted flour and a pinch of salt. Stir until just mixed together.
  4. Drop teaspoons full of mixture onto a lined baking tray and cook in a moderate oven until golden brown. (12-15 minutes).
Notes
Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake as you don't want to over cook them.
Space them out nicely on the tray as it is a wet mixture and they will spread.
This recipe is not any good for making into shapes as it is too soft.
