Lemon Lassies
Lemon Filling:
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup medium sweetened coconut
In a small saucepan or microwaveable bowl, combine all filling ingredients except coconut. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly, or in microwave (on low heat) for 1 minute intervals stirring well in between. Remove from heat and add coconut. Cool.
Cookie Dough:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
In a large mixer bowl combine margarine, sugar, egg and molasses. Add dry ingredients. Blend well with mixer. Divide dough into 4 parts.
Shape each part into a 12-15 inch roll. Place two rolls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each roll to a 2-1/2 inch strip. Repeat with the other two rolls on a second cookie sheet.
Spread 1/4 of the filling down the center of each roll and using a spatula, roll long edges to the centre to cover most of the filling.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Cut while warm into 1 inch pieces. Remove from pans and cool.
Krista, thanks for the kind comments on the MGCC blog. They are also favourites at our house. I like them because they're good keepers - especially if you store them in the fridge.It's time for me to make them again.
