Recipe by: Cranbrook Reflections, A Culinary Collection Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add butter and break with a fork until texture resembles coarse meal. Add pine nuts. In a separate bowl, beat sugar and eggs together; add lemon zest. Mix dry ingredients with egg mixture until dough is firm. Knead for 1 to 2 minutes. Divide dough into quarters and wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out dough, one piece at a time; cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Arrange on ungreased baking sheets. Brush glaze on each cookie with a pastry brush. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove to a cooling rack. -----
