Baking is a passion of mine. I love sweets and love having some sort of pastry sitting on the kitchen table, for people to walk by and nibble on, or just to gaze at.
This month is my boyfriend's birthday, and he loves lemon, so he wants lemon everything. This month i have dedicated every week to something lemon-y, and decided to attempt lemon cookies.
These cookies are soft, brown on the bottom and gooey lemony goodness in the middle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 egg
- juice from 2 lemons
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2¼ cups flour
You can add a lemon icing on top, by combining powdered sugar and lemon juice. I didn't add this, because I changed the recipe and added a lot more lemon, so I did not feel as though the icing was needed.
Add sugar and butter and mix, then add the egg.
Add lemon juice, zest and vanilla
Add salt, baking powder and flour
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes ( 10 minutes was the perfect time for mine)
It made 36 cookies for me which were a teaspoon in size. After cooling you can add the icing on top.
I got this recipe from pinterest, which has worked out well for me in the past.
Here's the link to the original recipe
