1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened to room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 tbsp lemon juice
Grated rind of 1 lemon
2 cups unsifted flour
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter and sugar together in mixer bowl (or about 100 strokes if doing by hand with a whisk). Add in eggs, one at a time, whisking/beating well after each addition. Add lemon juice. In another bowl, combine lemon rind, flour, mace and salt. Pour in butter-egg mixture and continue to stir until well-combined. Using a small ice cream scoop drop scoopfuls of the dough (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) onto lightlly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden and bottom is lightly browned. Remove from oven, cool for 3 minutes on rack then transfer with spatula onto cooling racks. When cool, store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
