Thanks for the kind words - but this recipe? Sure you got it from here? I know I

can get a

tad confused (heh heh heh!) now and then, but I don't remember this one and

maybe

that's because I almost never eat anything sweet. So I did a bit of a search and

couldn't

find it in the message archive or in the Files . . . (OK so the Files are still

being checked

and reorganized - I want to make sure that we have all those lovely spicy

desserts,

cookies, etc. together - anyway, I didn't find the lemon fire crisps you mention

in any of

the folders so far. I'll keep looking, but . . . )

 

Maybe you could post your version of the recipe????? It sounds as if it would be

one of

those things I would certainly try!!!

 

Again, thanks for the kind words about this group :=) We appreciate it very

much.

 

Best love,

Pat

Desculpeme. I'll have to send that inquiry to

cocina-mexicana . Found the Lemon Fire Crisps there.

I'm sure someone on this group will like them.

 

LEMON FIRE CRISPS

 

=================

(Yield: 6 dozen)

 

Ingredients:

------------

 

2 sticks butter or margarine, room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1 tblsp lemon juice

2 tblsp grated lemon peel

1 egg

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp cayenne powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

 

Instructions:

-------------

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

 

Cream the butter and sugar until

light and fluffy.

 

Add the lemon juice, lemon peel,

and egg and beat well.

 

Sift the dry ingredients together.

 

Beat into the butter mixture.

 

Place the mixture into a cookie press,

and force the dough onto an ungreased

cookie sheet.

 

Bake for 8 minutes or until cookies

are lightly browned.

 

 

 

I don't have a cookie press so made small balls of about 1/2 teaspoon.

They need to be pressed down to thin, small cookies, about 2 in. in

diameter. If the dough gets too soft, put it in the refrigerator. Or

make the small balls and put them in the refrigerator and they are

very easy to pat down on the cookie sheet.

 

The first taste is one of lemony-sweet, followed by a bit of spice.

 

I made only 1/2 of the recipe using a full egg, of course. It made

about 4 dozen small cookies.

 

Enjoy

Yes I suspected after I had written that you had mistakenly sent your message to

this

group rather than another. So many groups, eh? and so little time! LOLThank you

for the

recipe - I shall be happy to try it!

 

Best, Pat
