Categories     Dessert

Time 52m

Number Of Ingredients 11

115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
200 grams (1 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
245 grams (1 and 3/4 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Zest of 1 lemon, freshly grated
125 grams (1 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar, sifted
3-4 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and beat again until combined.
  • Sift in flour, baking soda and salt. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat briefly until soft cookie dough forms.
  • Roll cookie dough into 16 balls, approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough each, and bake for approximately 12 minutes or until golden on the edges. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the lemon glaze, sift the icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, and mix together with a fork. Keep adding a tablespoon of lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency. You want the glaze to be smooth, but thin enough to drizzle.
  • Drizzle glaze over cookies. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set.

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
2 eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream sugar, butter, and lemon zest together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Combine eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a cup; mix using a fork until combined. Beat into egg mixture slowly on low speed.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to egg mixture slowly on low speed until just combined. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; it will still be sticky after chilling.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Form dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll each in powdered sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Lightly smash each ball down using your hand.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the middle of each cookie is just barely set, 11 to 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.
