Old-world Lemon Cookies

Our hearts are desperately proud. If there is one sin which God hates more than another, and more sets Himself against, it is the sin of pride. Like a weed upon a dung-heap, pride grows more profusely in some soils, especially when well fertilized by rank, riches, praise, flattery, our own ignorance, and the ignorance of others. We all inherit pride from our fallen ancestor Adam, who got it from Satan, that “king over all the children of pride.” Those, perhaps, who think they possess the least pride, and view themselves with wonderful self-admiration as the humblest of mortals, may have more pride than those who feel and confess it. It may only be more deeply hidden in the dark recesses of their carnal mind.

over it  and knead it until well distributed. Roll dough out very thin

rim and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake in oven preheated to 350  for
at least 30 minutes until delicately tinted and the glaze has
crystallized.  The longer they are left in the oven to become drier
and crispier the more delicious they are.  Lemon Cheese:  Mix together

lemons, 3 large whole eggs (beaten), 1/4  tsp salt and 1/4 cup butter.
Cook over slow heat, stirring constantly  until thick. Yield: about

used as topping for baked  puddings, fillings for tarts and jelly
rolls.  From: Breads and Coffee Cakes with Homemade Starters Shared By:
