How to Make Old Fashioned Lemon Butter Cookies

!±8± How to Make Old Fashioned Lemon Butter Cookies

My great aunt who is 83 years old has been baking and cooking all of her life. When I was a little girl, I could remember spending countless hours with her in the kitchen and learning just about everything I know today that pertains to baking.

This is a recipe she started making back in the 1960's and to this day, its one of our family's favorite cookie recipes. Back in the 1960's money was tight so women used to whip up recipes using the common ingredients they usually had on hand.

If you love lemon flavored cookies, then give this recipe a try.

Lemon Butter Cookies

1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
additional sugar

*note* I like a lot of lemon flavor, so when I make Auntie's recipe, I increase the lemon juice to 4 tablespoons and I always use fresh lemon juice that I personally hand squeeze. (I don't use the bottled lemon juice).

Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, lemon juice, lemon peel, baking powder and salt. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. (make sure you refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours but no longer than for 4 hours).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough, a small portion at a time on a well floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Keep remaining dough in the refrigerator. Cut dough with 3" round cookie cutter. (you can also use a round biscuit cutter which I find easier to use than a cookie cutter).

Transfer cookies to a ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. I lined my cookie sheet with a Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat and I am so glad that I did! They just slid off the mat when they were done and they were evenly baked.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Additional Note: The thinner you roll out the dough, the less baking time it will need. So if you like thick cookies, roll out your dough thicker than described above but you will need to increase your baking time by 1-2 minutes.

Ice Cream Trivia - How Much Do You Know About America's Favorite Treat?

!±8± Ice Cream Trivia - How Much Do You Know About America's Favorite Treat?

While July may be National Ice Cream Month, we at Kool Technologies believe in celebrating all year round! Here is some Ice Cream Trivia that we have prepared in honor of National Ice Cream Month (July).

Ice Cream Trivia:

Fun facts to Accompany Americas Favorite Summer Time Treat!

In 1984 President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month saying that patriotic Americans should honor the month with "appropriate ceremonies and activities." So grab yourself a double scoop of your favorite flavor and learn some fun facts about this American classic!

It is believed that in the first century the Roman Emperor Nero was a big fan of ice cream in its earlier stage. He would send his slaves up mountains to collect snow and ice so he could enjoy his flavored ices.

The first documented mention of ice cream in America was written in the 1700s. It was written to the governor of Maryland praising the ice cream and strawberry dessert he had served at a dinner party.

In 1776 the first ice cream parlor opened in New York City. During World War I ice cream became a symbol of pride for America due to the fact that a newspaper had quoted a German officer declaring, "We do not fear that nation of ice cream eaters."

In the 1920s, immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island were given ice cream to introduce them to a "typical" American treat. Many thought it was frozen butter and tried to spread it on their bread...

In 1939 Stoelting built the first soft serve ice cream dispenser for the Home Made Ice Cream Company, known today as Dairy Queen, helping to create the soft serve industry as we know it today. It has been over 100 years since Stoelting's creation and the company is still a leading manufacturer of equipment that brings us this delicious treat every day. Today, the average person in the U.S. consumes around 48 pints of ice cream per year, more than any other country! Its not just the kids either, adults consume nearly half of all the ice cream bars, popsicles, and the like every year. So indulge this month- and hey- if you need an excuse, National Ice Cream month only comes around once a year!
