These are seriously addictive cookies.
You Will Need:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely chopped prunes
Confectioner's sugar
In a bowl (well, duh! Where else would you do it?!) mix the butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest together. Add the egg and beat well. Add the flour sifted with the baking powder and salt. Stir in the prunes. Wrap tightly in cling wrap and chill at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On an ungreased baking sheet, make balls the size of a walnut and place about 2 inches apart. Bake 10-15 minutes or until browned on the bottom. Remove to a rack and immediately roll generously in confectioner's sugar. You may wish to repeat this a few times as they cool. Cool on racks. Makes about 3 dozen.
