Lemon Cookies


These delicate snow-dusted Lemon Cookies have a wonderful lemon and almond flavor. The cookies are rich, crumbly, and melt in the mouth. They are simple to put together and make a lovely Christmas gift too.   

Lemon Cookies

Ingredients

1 Stick (1/2 Cup/4 oz) Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature
½ Cup (65 g) Confectioner’s/Powder Sugar
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
½ Cup (56 g) Ground Almond
1 Cup (120 g) All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp Corn Flour/Starch
A Pinch of Sea Salt

¼ Cup of Confectioner’s/Powder Sugar, for dusting


Method


Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking tray with a piece of parchment paper.

In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon beat the butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Mix in lemon zest, juice, and ground almonds until well blended. Add the flour, salt, mixing only until it is incorporated into the dough.


Pull off a tablespoon of dough and roll with your hand into a short rope, and shape into crescents, or roll into a longer rope and shape into candy canes. Place on the baking tray and bake for about 12 to 14 minutes and transfer the cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.

Dust the cookies with some confectioner’s sugar. Store in an airtight container to keep them crisp.



Makes 24 cookies.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
