Esses
3/4 pound butter
3/4 pound granulated sugar
1 1/4 pounds flour
9 egg yolks, beaten
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream the butter and sugar together well. Add beaten eggs and lemon rind, mix well together. Add flour and mix till smooth; chill the dough for an hour.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured bread board and make into "S" shapes by pinching off a piece of dough, rolling it quickly between your hands, and shaping it on a cookie sheet; continue until all dough is made up. These are best when put in a cool place overnight and baked the next day, but chilling them in the freezer for a while should work. Bake in moderate oven for just a few minutes, until baked but only slightly browned.
