       1 c  Butter; softened
     3/4 c  Sugar
     1/2 ts Salt
       3    Eggs hard-cooked; sieved
       1 lg Lemon; zest only
            Finely grated

      DESCRIPTION: These soft morsels are lightly lemon flavored and decorated
   with a blanched almond.
       Beat butter, sugar and salt together until light and fluffy. Add sieved

   and vanilla, blending well. Add flour in increments and blend well. Form
   into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate overnight or freeze for 3

       Preheat oven to 350. With floured hands, roll scand teaspoons of dough
   into 1-inch balls. Arrange one inch apart on greased baking sheets. Press
   an almond into the center of each---balls will become slightly oval-shaped.
   In a small saucepan, heat corn syrup until it thins slightly. Brush warm
   syrup over cookies. Bake 8-11 minutes or until barely golden. Cool on
   racks. Store airtight at room temp 5 days, freeze for 3 months. From "The
