INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR COOKIES: Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
Using electric mixer, beat sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract  and
grated lemon peel in large bowl until blended. Add eggs 1 at a  time,
beating well after each addition (mixture may appear curdled).
Continue beating 1 minute. Combine flour and baking powder in small
bowl. Add to butter mixture and stir to form soft sticky dough.  Spoon
dough into pastry bag fitted with 3/8-inch-wide round tip. Pipe
2-inch-diameter rings onto prepared sheets, spacing apart. Using
fingertips dipped into water, press ends of each ring together into
smooth ring. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile,
prepare icing.  FOR ICING: Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over
low heat. Add  sugar, 2 tablespoons water, lemon juice and vanilla
extract and whisk  until sugar melts and mixture is heated through.
Thin with more water  if icing is too thick to brush.  Remove cookies
from oven. Immediately brush warm icing over hot  cookies. Cool iced
cookies on sheets 2 minutes. Transfer on rack and  cool completely.
(Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in airtight  container.)  Makes
