Lemon Loversl

        These have the approval of Boy Scout Troop 154! Real lemony flavor. Uses about two lemons. They were a hit at the office too!
       
        2 cups margarine or butter, creamed, gradually add
        1 cup sugar
       
        Beat until light and fluffy. The add,
        2 egg yolks slightly beaten
        1 tablespoon AND 1 TEASPOON lemon rind
        5 cups of sifted flour
        1 teaspoon baking powder (sift baking powder and flour together)
        Stir into dough. Then add,
        2 Tablespoons lemon juice.
       
        Chill dough at least one hour. Roll out 1/4 inch thick and cut with a flower petal round cutter if available. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. (I prefer the Baker's Secret or non-stick types).
       
        Use the two egg whites slightly mixed to brush on the tops of
        cookies. Top with sliced almonds, or toffee candy bits, or sugar decors.
        Bake at 350 o F until golden brown (about 10-15 min.).
