Ingredients

  • 110 g Butter Softened
  • 170 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Medium Egg
  • 1 Lemon Juice and Zest
  • 1 tsp Lemon Extract Optional
  • 225 g Plain Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • Yellow Food Colouring Optional
  • 50 g Icing Sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed - until fully incorporated (about 3-5 minutes). 
  • Add the egg, lemon juice, zest, extract and food colour (if using) and combine again.
  • To this, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a little salt. Fold this all together until just combined. Then put in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2 large baking trays.
  • Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Use a tablespoon to scoop cookie dough balls, put into the icing sugar and roll. Place straight onto a lined baking sheet and press down a little. Repeat for all dough.
  • Bake for 12-14 Minutes - until the edges are just golden brown, as they'll continue to bake. Remove and let cool on a wire rack before eating!
