Add lemon rind & mix well. Turn the dough onto a floured board & knead for 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper & roll out each piece of dough 1/2" thick on the baking sheets. Score the tops in 1*2" rectangles & bake for 20 minutes in 325 oven. Beat eggs, sugar & orange juice together. Liberally brush on top of cookies with the orange glaze. Bake for another 10 minutes. Cool slightly then break along the score lines.
