I used this recipe: marthafuckinstewart
Basically only used it as an ingredient list. I did not go to the trouble of melting half the butter with the lemon zest.
I like to instead rub the lemon zest in with the cane sugar when I make these. I do this process with any dessert with citrus zest, idk I just feel like the flavor is bright with this process. I do it first and let it rest 10-15 mins.
Then just cream the lemon sugar with the room temp butter as normal and follow the rest of the recipe. I dont know her oven, but I know mine, and baked them at 350 for 12 mins. Recipe says makes 30 cookies, but I don’t play that and made 24.
Delicate little cookies that were very quick to pull off, enjoyed them on a late spring night plated with tea :)
How solid are they? From the picture it’s hard to tell if they have a crisp texture or more chewy, brittle, you get the idea. They sound delicious though, might have to try this.
They are soft, like a lemon poppyseed sugar cookie
I’ve been cooking so long I just use recipes as guides, there are hundreds of lemon poppyseed cookie recipes out there, this isn’t even my favorite one! Had 40 mins to plan for guests so I just made this real quick. Definitely try out the flavor!
