This recipe is one of the best cookie recipes ever. I found this one in an Italian cookbook from the 1970's.

Steps:
- 1. Place flour on pastry board. Make a well in the center. Put butter, sugar, 2 eggs, (grated lemon rind) and salt into the well. Work the flour mixture gently with your hands and form into a ball.
- 2. Cover with clean towel and let rest for 1 hour. With rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4" thickness and cut out 3" circles (I use a drinking glass for this).
- 3. In the center of each circle of dough, place 1/2 tsp. of preserves then fold dough in half and crimp with fork to close edges. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
- 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookies on cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve.
- 5. Optional: after removing cookies from oven you can sprinkle them with confectioner sugar...I never do but the recipe offers this option.

[email protected]These cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them. I would recommend baking them for a few minutes less.

[email protected]I found that these cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a less sweet jam, or reducing the amount of sugar in the dough.
