Lemon Sables

You can glaze these cookies or sprinkle powdered sugar on them just after they come out of the oven. If you're like me you can just eat them plain. You may want to mix the sugar and lemon zest together an hour before you're ready to make the cookies so the sugar can absorb the lemony goodness.
