Lemon cookies are delicious and tangy cookies. They are basically made with a combination of butter, sugar, milk, all-purpose flour and, of course fresh lemon zest or juice to give them their distinct tangy flavor. Here's a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 100g butter, softened
- 100g granulated sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk if needed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 10g milk powder
- 10g custard powder
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 145°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugar powder until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest to the bowl (be careful when grating the lemon; it can be bitter). Mix well until everything is combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, custard powder, and milk powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve the right consistency. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overmix.
Keep the dough in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes to set.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. You can also use a spoon to portion the dough.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. For shape, you can gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork or your fingers.
leaving a bit of space between each cookie to bake evenly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10–12 minutes, or check the undersides, which should be golden at the end of cooking.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you want, dust the cooled lemon cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
Note: you can store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Enjoy these flavorful lemon cookies with a cup of tea or as a refreshing snack any time of the day! 🍪🍵
