Instructions
Cookies
Preheat the oven to 180ºc/160fan and line 2-3 large trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the unsalted butter and caster sugar and beat well until combined.
Add the plain flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and egg and beat until a smooth cookie dough is formed.
Using a tablespoon measure, scoop the cookie dough onto the lined tray, rolling each bit of cookie dough into a round ball.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and beautiful.
Leave to cool fully.
Decoration
When the cookies have full cooled, add the icing sugar to a bowl.
Add the lemon juice one spoonful at a time until you reach a thick consistency that is smooth.
Dunk each cookie into the icing mixture, shaking off any dripping trail of icing, and then place back onto the lined tray.
Sprinkle with lemon zest if you fancy! Enjoy.
Notes
These cookies will last for 7+ days at room temperature.
I use fresh lemon, but you can use 1-2tsp of
lemon extract
in the cookie dough if you can't use fresh lemons.
These cookies freeze for 3+ months.
I use these
baking trays
