Cookies with Lemon Blossoms

Ingredients

Regarding the Cookies:

1. One cup of softened unsalted butter
2. One cup of sugar granules
3. Half a cup of powdered sugar
4. Two huge eggs
5. Two tablespoons of lemon juice
6. One lemon’s zest
7. Three cups of all-purpose flour
8. One teaspoon of baking powder
9. Half a teaspoon of salt

Regarding the Lemon Glaze:

• One cup of powdered sugar
• Two tablespoons of lemon juice
• One tablespoon of optional lemon zest

Directions

Preheat Oven:

• Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F (175°C). Use parchment paper to line baking sheets.

Prepare the cookie dough:

• Combine the powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice and beat until thoroughly blended.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a another basin.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture little by little, stirring just until mixed.

Form the cookies:

• Roll the dough into balls using a spoon to scoop tablespoon-sized portions.
• Arrange them with a gap of approximately 2 inches on the baking sheets that have been prepared.

Bake:

• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn brown, in a preheated oven. As they cool, the centers will solidify, even though they may still appear somewhat squishy.

Prepare the Glaze:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth while the cookies cool.

Put the cookies in a glaze:

• Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cookies when they have fully cooled, or dip the tops into the glaze for a stronger taste.

Serve:

• Before serving, let the glaze set. Savor your mouthwatering lemon blossoms!

Bright and tangy, these cookies are ideal for anyone who enjoys lemons. Have fun while baking!
