Have you herd of the "Great American Recipes" cards?

Question

Many years ago I purchased the "Great American Recipes" cards, and thier was a great cookie recipe there. They were lemon sugar cookies, and they were SOOOOO good. The problem is that I lost that card, and would realy like to make them again. As much as I hate baking from scratch, these cookies are worth it. Does any one have that recipe?

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

LEMON COOKIES

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Granulated sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, softened
In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds or until softened. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and lemon flavoring; beat well. Add flour and salt. Beat until well mixed. (If necessary, stir in last part of flour.)
Shape into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten to 2-inch circles with the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar. Bake in 375° F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire rack.
For filling, in a small saucepan, stir together 2/3 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir in lemon peel and juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into beaten egg. Return all of the egg mixture to saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more; do not boil. Remove from heat.
Stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Cover surface with plastic wrap; chill.
To assemble cookies, spread about 1-1/2 teaspoons filling on flat sides of half the cookies; top with remaining cookies, flat sides toward filling. Store filled cookies in the refrigerator.

Do you remember the name of the company that offered the cards? Maybe they have a website that you can check on. Or you could always try one of the other recipe sights out there, as there are PLENTY. Sorry I'm not able to help.
