I love lemon cookies but have never tried making them before. Having a lemon which needed using was the reason for making them today.
The resulting cookies have a sugary, crunch crust and a soft and chewy lemony crumb.
First I creamed together some butter and white sugar and then, when the mixture was pale and smooth, a beat in an egg, some vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice.
I then mixed in some flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mixed everything together to make a smooth, soft dough.
Small balls of the dough were rolled in sugar and then placed on a lined baking sheet well spaced out.
They were then baked at 175C for about 10 minutes until a the cookies were a pale golden colour and with a crackled appearance.
