The BEST Lemon Cookie Recipe
Shortbread cookies are unique in that they contain no eggs no liquid and no leavening agent (though be warned just because there are no eggs doesn’t mean this cookie dough is safe to eat raw). Unlike most cookies which contain at least some liquid and a leavening agent (either baking powder or baking soda) shortbread instead relies on a perfect balance of butter sugar and flour to produce that classic melt-in-your-mouth crunchy texture. Here covered in a simple glaze made with heavy cream powdered sugar and almond extract the classic treat takes on new life adding a touch of elegance and complexity to a familiar favorite.
For this recipe you will need butter sugar salt lemon zest flour cream powdered sugar and almond extract. Once you have those ingredients together you are ready to begin.
Add the butter sugar salt and ½ lemon zest to a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
