Limoncello Glaze Recipes

GLAZED LIMONCELLO COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and zest, and beat until combined. Add the flour to the mixture, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
• Divide the dough in half and, using your hands, shape it into 2 logs, each 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes, or place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, limoncello, lemon zest and lemon juice. Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze, and place the cookies on a cooling rack set over the baking sheets. Allow to set for about 15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

LEMON YOGURT MINI-BUNDT CAKES WITH LIMONCELLO GLAZE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Liberally coat with baking spray, or thoroughly grease and flour, pans for 12 mini-bundts, or 24 cupcakes. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another small bowl, stir together the yogurt and the milk just until smooth. In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest for about 5 minutes, until smooth and light. Stop to scrape the bowl periodically. Add in the eggs one a time, still at medium speed, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Mix well after each egg. On low speed, add in the flour mixture alternately with the yogurt in three additions. Mix just until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes more, until the entire mixture is smooth and light. Add in 3 Tbsp. of the lemon juice and 1 Tbsp. of the limoncello. Blend just until evenly mixed, no more than 30 seconds. Portion the batter evenly into your pan(s); smooth the top of the batter. Bake until the center of each cake springs back when pressed lightly with a finger, and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. This will be about 15 minutes for mini-bundts or cupcakes (if making minis or cupcakes, don't wait for the exposed part of the cake to look golden brown; golden around the edges is enough). If you've made the cake in mini-bundt pans, let them cool for about 10 minutes before inverting the pans onto a cooling racks to remove the cakes. If you've baked cupcakes, give them no more than about five minutes in their pans before carefully removing to a cooling rack. To make the glaze: mix the confectioners' sugar, 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 3 Tbsp. of limoncello in a small bowl and stir until any lumps are completely gone. If you'd like the glaze thicker, just stir in a bit more confectioners' sugar until it's the texture you prefer. To apply the glaze, place the cooled cake(s) on a cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze liberally over each cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the icing set for about 15 minutes before moving the cakes. If you like, serve each cake topped with a little unsweetened whipped cream and some lemon zest curls.

LIMONCELLO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, limoncello, vanilla and lemon zest, and beat until combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture all at once and mix again with electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Use a spoon to mix the dough to bring the dough together more fully.
• Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough) to scoop the dough and roll into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2-inches apart. Use the palm of your hand to slightly flatten the balls of dough.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottom edges are just beginning to look golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, limoncello, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add additional lemon juice, as needed, to reach a nice glaze consistency (it should be somewhat thick but pour easily off the spoon). Use a small metal spoon to pour a small amount of glaze on top of a cookie and use the back of the spoon to spread and swirl it around. Repeat with remaining cookies and glaze. Allow to set for about 15 minutes before serving.
• Store in an airtight container and consume within 1 week for the best quality.
