Rosina - 409

Here is a tea cup I found last year at an estate sale.

 Pretty blue blooms against a pale blue background.

 Here is it's back stamp

I made some Spring Lemon Cookies for some friends that came over this weekend.

Lemon Cookies

Ingredients:

2 Tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1/3 cup milk

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

2 Tsp lemon zest

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tsp baking powder

1/4 Tsp baking soda

Preheat the oven to 350.  

Combine the 2 tsp lemon juice with the milk and let stand for 5 minutes.  Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the egg.  Stir in the lemon zest and the milk mixture.  In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Blend dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.  I made a lemon icing with lemon juice and icing sugar, and topped each cookie with it once they cooled.  Yummmm!
