LEMON TEA COOKIES
1 2/3 c. flour
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
FILLING:
1 egg, beaten
2/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. butter
In medium bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; blend well. Chill dough. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1" balls. Place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. With thumb or forefinger, make imprint in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet, cool.

These cookies are made like thumbprint cookies. The filling needs to be cooked at a slightly higher heat than stated in my experience. I make them every Christmas.
