I made these lemon cookies for my Christmas cookie tray this year. They are a light a delicate cookie with a texture a bit like shortbread. I cut them into various shapes, including people and made them a bit like 'lemon bread men'. The recipe originally came from the UK TV cook Rachel Allen. So, I have put it back to grams :). Ingredients:
175 g plain flour |
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated |
110 g butter, soft |
50 g sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put the flour and lemon zest into a mixing bowl and rub in the soft butter.
3. Add the sugar and bring the whole mixture together to form a stiff dough. Don not add any water, however tempting.
4. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 cm thickness and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.
5. Place carefully on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 6 to 10 minutes until they are a pale golden color.
6. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
