Lemon Sugar Cookie

Hi bloggers and food lovers, today I’m sharing a recipe for sweet and tangy lemon sugar cookies to enjoy as a weekend treat. These lemon sugar cookies are my entry for the Qurator's Hive Top Chef! hosted by @qurator. These cookies are very simple, look appealing with their yellow color, and are, of course, easy to make. Okay, let’s get started

Ingredients:

• 220 grams margarine
• 200 grams sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• zest of 2 small lemons
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 300 grams all-purpose flour

Instructions:

• Melt the margarine until fully melted

• Pour the melted margarine into a mixing bowl containing the sugar and baking powder

• Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture starts to expand

• Crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk then add the egg yolk to the bowl

• Stir briefly

• Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the bowl

• Stir again

• Gradually add the all-purpose flour until the dough begins to thicken and forms a fairly firm dough

• Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the chiller

• After 30 minutes, remove the dough and scoop out 1 scoop of dough, then roll it in a mixture of sugar and lemon zest

• Place on baking paper

• Repeat until all the dough is used up

• Bake the cookies in the oven at 320°F or 180°C for 45 minutes

• Once done, turn off the oven and let the lemon cookies cool

• The lemon sugar cookies are ready to serve
