I love lemon. Lemon cookies are the best thing in the world.
Oh yes, best enough to mention that twice.
I found this recipe a few months ago on the
Whisk Kid blog, and made these on a rainy afternoon.
Over on her blog she made them thinner and crispier, but I like nothing more than chewy cookies.
So I made them thicker, and they were lovely.
Especially when served with tea, fresh roses and a good book.
Lemon Cookies
1/2 c (118 g) unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 c (149 g)sugar
1 egg, room temp
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (I just used the juice of half a lemon)
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest (I used the zest from the whole lemon)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 c (156 g) flour
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Cream
together the butter and sugar, then add the egg, juice, zest and
vanilla. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Drop
by 1 1/2 tsps onto lined baking sheets and bake 10-12 min until lightly
golden around edges. Let cool on sheets one minute before placing on
racks to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen.
Lemon Icing
1 c (150 g) icing sugar
4-6 Tbsp lemon juice
Beat together and drizzle over cooled cookies.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
