Ingredients
1 cup butter (salted, not margarine)
1/3 cup sugar (plus 2 TBSP)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (approx. 1 – 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
icing sugar (for dusting cookies)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, mix sugar with lemon zest to create a lemon sugar. Add butter and beat until nice and creamy. Mix in the lemon juice. Add the flour and slowly incorporate until mixture comes together in a ball in your mixing bowl.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, place balls of cookie dough on parchment paper or silpat. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes. Cool on cooling rack.
- Put icing sugar in a small bowl, add cookies, one at a time, and roll in the icing sugar then eat these Lemon Meltaways ever so slowly and savor each and every bite. YUM!
- These cookies can be frozen once cooled without the icing sugar. Thaw and roll in icing sugar.
