Dry Ingredients









Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar until well mixed. Then, add the softened butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the mixture, and stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, turmeric, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Step 2
Once the dough is ready, grease your hands with some butter to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
Next, roll each ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated. This will give your cookies a delightful sweet crust.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the cookies at a distance from each other.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t get too brown. They should be lightly golden.
Step 4
Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack.
Enjoy your delicious lemon cookies with a cup of tea. They are perfect for any gathering or a relaxing afternoon snack!

Equipment
A medium-sized mixing bowl is perfect for combining your ingredients. Choose one that’s sturdy and easy to handle.



For a smooth and fluffy batter, use a whisk for a personal touch or an electric mixer for speed and ease.
Line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will make your life so much easier when it’s time to remove those gorgeous cookies!



This little tool helps you portion out uniform cookie dough balls for even baking. If you don’t have one, a tablespoon works just fine.



Variations
Simply swap regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it contains xanthan gum to get that perfect cookie texture! 🌾
Vegan Version:Replace eggs with a mix of ground flaxseeds and water (1 tbsp flaxseed meal combined with 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg). Use plant-based butter instead of regular butter for a delightful vegan treat! 🌱
Faq
- What happens if I don’t have lemon zest?
Don’t worry! You can skip it if you don’t have fresh lemons; just add a bit more lemon juice if you want to maintain that delightful lemon flavor.
- How can I know if my cookies are done baking?
Look for a light golden color at the edges and a set center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet!
- Can I store these cookies, and how?
Absolutely! Let the cookies cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Can I freeze the uncooked dough?
Yes! Just wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. When you’re ready, just let it thaw in the fridge before baking.
- Why did my cookies spread too much?
This can happen if the butter was too warm or the dough wasn’t chilled before baking. Next time, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature and consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Is there a way to enhance the lemon flavor?
Definitely! Adding a bit of lemon extract can intensify the flavor without overpowering it, giving your cookies that extra zesty punch.
