- A special meaning because they represent the ceremonial etrog , a citrus fruit which plays an important part in the Succot ritual. Baking these crisp cookies is another task my grandchildren love to share. Together we mix the batter and bake just sufficient to eat on the spot. Store the unbaked dough in plastic wrap and chill till it is time to bake them for the holiday dinner.
- Serve a large platter of these freshly baked cookies, along with a fruit salad, compote or possibly sorbet for the perfect Succot dessert."
- Cream margarine and sugar till fluffy in large mixer bowl. Add in Large eggs and blend well. Blend in vanilla and lemon zest.
- Add in salt and 4-and-1/2 c. of flour, 1 c. at time, alternately with lemon juice. (Dough will be somewhat sticky.)
- Transfer dough to floured surface and knead, adding up to 1/2 c. flour as needed.
