   Cookie Pastry:
   Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2
   minutes.  Add egg and flour and mix until smooth dough
   is formed.  With hands, shape into a ball and flatten
   into a disc.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate
   until chilled.
   
   Preheat oven to 350.
   
   Make pastry and roll or press dough evenly over bottom
   and up sides of 9-inch pie pan.
   
   Melt butter in microwave; set aside.  Whisk eggs and
   sugar in medium-size bowl until blended.  Add peel and
   slowly stir in butter and lemon juice until
   incorporated.  Pour into crust.  Bake  for 30 to 40
   minutes or until top of custard is lightly browned.
   It will not test clean and will look underdone, but
   will set as it cools.  When cool, refrigerate. Before
   serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
