Ingredients
For the cookies
- 50 g sugar
- 100 g all purpose flour
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 30 g melted unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the crinkle effect
- 150 g icing sugar
Instructions
For the cookies
- Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar using a whisk.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a spatula.
- Take the mix to the fridge for an hour so it becomes more solid.
- Make small, one tablespoon balls between your hands.
For the crinkle effect
- Pass the dough balls through the icing sugar and let it form a thick coat around it. Place them on a tray with baking paper with 4 fingers between each other as they tend to spread out.
- Take them to a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 6-8min. Test the time with one cookie first so that you get the time for the rest. It's important not to overcook them so they don't go dry.
- Wait a couple of minutes before lifting the cookies off the baking paper because they come out soft still.
