Easy Light and Fluffy Lemon Cookies Recipe (video) [View all]
I love lemon. It is easily one of my favourite flavours, and we got some really great fresh lemons recently and decided to find something interesting to do with them! We researched a few lemon cookies to come to this recipe, but for our final recipe, we ended up cutting the sugar in half from just about all of the recipes we found. They are still plenty sweet, but you get a great bright lemon flavour from them. I can't imagine how sweet the other recipes are!
Most of the lemon aroma comes from the lemon oil in the zest included in this recipe. The juice adds a little bit of acidity to the flavour, but you definitely don't want to skimp on the zest for that amazing lemon zing. We use vanilla paste for this, but lemon extract will work just fine for these. Once formed into balls and gently squished, you can freeze the cookies on a sheet pan and keep them in the freezer for a couple of months and take a couple out to bake from frozen when you want fresh cookies!
