Here, after much trial and error, I've come up with a cookie which gives you that 'melting moment', with a hint of refreshing lemon on your taste buds, and a texture so delicate and scrumptious.

This cookie recipe is designed to have a little 'melting effect' in the oven so don't panic!

It will spread a little during cooking, and that just adds to the deliciousness.

We have lots of popular butter cookies so be sure to bookmark them for trying later!

Equipment

an UN-GREASED baking tray

Ingredients

¾ cup or170 g butter
½ cup or 60 g confectioners sugar
2 Tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups or 190 g sifted All Purpose / plain flour

Here's a couple of cookie items which we can recommend for you.

This cookie press is easy on the hands so when you're pressing the cookies, the handle is nice and soft. It also comes with a variety of discs in a storage box so you can make different shapes.

This silicone cookie sheet is an essential for cookie making. It means your cookies don't stick and it's really easy to clean. You can use this over and over again so no need to buy parchment paper anymore! There's also a pattern on it to show you where to place your cookies so you don't overcrowd the baking mat.

Instructions

1. Placed sieved flour and sieved confectioners’ sugar in a large mixing bowl.

2. Add butter in 1 cm pieces (distribute evenly over the flour)

3. Add water, lemon extract and vanilla extract

4. Mix together very well using hands until the ingredients form a dough. You should be able to have a ‘clean’ mixing bowl with no crumbs.

5. Cover with parchment & place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

6. Fill the cookie press half full and use a template of your choice, or roll out to 1 cm thick and use a cookie cutter. Place cookies on the UN GREASED baking tray about a hand width apart.

7. Bake in preheated oven at 350F, 180C, Gas 4 for 10 minutes or until the edges just begin to slightly brown. (see photo)

8. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray then transfer to cooling rack

If your cookies have joined together after taking them out the oven, use a knife or plastic cutter to separate them whilst they are hot. Once they cool, it will be messy to try and cut them.
