My mother-in-law, Marie Shea, was a Great baker, everything she made was as if it had come out of machine. Because EVERYTHING was the size, no matter what she was baking. I tried making her Lemon Twist – – and gave up 26 years ago.
Lemon Twist Cookie Recipe
Lemon Twist
1/3 cup margarine, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
2 cups flour
¼ tsp. salt
1 egg white slightly beaten
Cream margarine and sugar thoroughly. Mix in egg, egg yolk and lemon peel; mix well. Then mix together flour and salt; add to mixture.
Shape pieces of dough into balls; size of a walnut. Roll each piece into 8” lengths and twist.
Place on greased cookie sheet; then brush with egg white.
Bake on 350 F. and bake 8 to 10 minutes.
** I found a picture, and used it for the Lemon Twist – but they don’t come close to my mother-in-law’s cookies. Her cookies were all the same size, and narrow. **
(Recipe for the Lemon Twist Cookie came from Marie Shea, 1990.)
