Lemon Sugar Cookies (Printable Version)

Lemony cookies that feel soft and really chewy. Good for parties, picnics, or just because!

# What You'll Need:

01 - Zest from half a lemon

02 - 30 ml (2 tbsp.) vegetable oil

03 - 2 eggs

04 - 50 ml (3 tbsp.) lemon juice

05 - 60g (½ cup) sugar

06 - 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder

07 - 210g (1 ⅔ cup) all-purpose flour

08 - 50g (¼ cup) cornstarch

09 - Sugar to sprinkle on top

10 - 120 ml (½ cup) milk

01 - Once the cookies cool off, dip them in the milk. Shake on a bit of sugar. They're ready to eat.

02 - Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or till the sides are just golden. Give them time to cool down.

03 - Turn your oven to 180°C (350°F). Shape the cold dough into little balls and line them up on your baking tray.

04 - Stick the dough in the fridge covered for half an hour so it's less sticky and easier to roll.

05 - Gently mix in your dry stuff with the wet mixture, stirring just until it starts to turn into a soft dough.

06 - Toss together the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch in a clean bowl. Make sure it's all mixed up.

07 - Grab a bowl and beat the lemon zest, eggs, sugar, oil, and lemon juice till everything's smooth.

01 - Wanna switch it up? Try a bit of orange or lime zest, or drop in a tiny pinch of salt for more punch.

02 - Keep cookies fresh for five days in a tight-sealing container on your counter.
