-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Butter
1 tb Lemon zest
1/4 c Lemon juice
3 Egg
3 c Flour

In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of the
sugar and butter until well blended. Add lemon peel
and juice; mix to blend. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time,
until smooth. Gradually stir in 3 cups of the flour,
mixing well. cover and chill until dough is firm
enough to handle easily, at least 3 hours or as long
as 2 days. For easier handling, chill the dough
before you form the ring-shaped cookies. Divide dough
in half. Cover and chill 1 portion. Divide other half
into 8 equal pieces. With floured fingers, roll each
piece on a lightly floured board to make a 10-inch
rope. Overlap ends of each rope slightly to form a
ring. Place rings about 1 inch apart on a greased
14x17 inch baking sheet. Sprinkle light with sugar.
Bake in a 300 F. oven until golden, 35-40 minutes.
Remove cookies from pans and let cool completely on
racks. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve or store
airtight up to 10 days.
