Lemon cookies
Crispy, chewy inside, lemon-flavored cookies perfect for both morning coffee and afternoon tea.
Preparation time: 1h
Level: Easy
Quantity: about 50-60 cookies
Ingredients:
120 g butter in room temperature
1 large egg
190 g wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
A pinch of sea salt
Finely grated peel of one lemon
Juice of one medium lemon
200 g of granulated sugar
Icing sugar for decoration
Preparation:
- Mix the butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix for additional few minutes.
- Add flour, baking powder, finely grated lemon peel, and lemon juice
- The dough is relatively soft and not easy to shape. You can do it in two ways, either let the dough stand properly (at least an hour) at +4 degrees C and then form balls about 2 cm in size or use a piping bag and lift the warm dough into the bag and drop balls about 2 cm in diameter onto a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
- Bake at 180 degrees C for 9-10 minutes until the cookies start very slightly to the edges. Do not bake longer, otherwise, the cookies will not be soft enough.
- Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes remove the cookies carefully with a knife or cake spatula and place on a cutting board or wire rack to cool.
If you wish, sprinkle powdered sugar on the cooled cookies and serve.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight jar for a week or two.
Ready!!
