These are light and bright cookies, perfect for a snowy day or a hot summer day. We just love the fresh lemon taste.
Lemon Shortbread Cookies
makes about 20 small - double it if you're bringing it somewhere (perfect picnic food!)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup powdered sugar
1 stick butter, room temp
Zest from one lemon (or even 2!)
Splash of lemon juice
1 cup flour (I use a mix of whole wheat and white)
Salt
Cream together sugar and butter with lemon zest and lemon juice. Blend in salt and flour. Transfer mixture to wax paper, roll into a log, chill in fridge for at least an hour (or in the super freezer for 10 mins). If you double it, form 2 logs.
Preheat oven to 325. Slice and bake. I like slice it thin, so they bake in 12 mins, but they could take as long as 25 min for thick cookies.
