Cream butter and vanilla.  Add powdered sugar.  Gradually add flour.  Roll into 1 inch balls.  Make an indentation in center with thumb.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned.  Makes 2-3 dozen.

For filling, combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel and salt in saucepan.  Stir in egg, lemon juice and butter until smooth.  Cook over medium high heat until thickened.  Reduce heat.  Cook and stir 2 minutes longer.  Cool.  Spoon onto each cookie.  Dust with powdered sugar before serving.  (Store bought lemon pie filling also works.)
