These cookies are crisp at the sides but not as crispy as my 4-Ingredient Easy Cinnamon Cookies. The egg in these cookies makes them delicate.
It is a simple recipe but there are some details that you simply should take care with. These cookies are slice and bake. You already know this from the title! I slice the cookies 1/5 inches (5 millimeters) thick.
INGREDIENTS :
- 130 g (1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
- 105 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 30 g (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
- 280 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour (dip and sweep)
- 2 tablespoons (packed) lemon zest
- 1 large egg
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Put the lemon zest and sugar in your mixing bowl and mix them with a fork or rub them with your fingertips.
- Add butter and cream the mixture until it is light and fluffy with a hand-held mixer or with paddle attachment if using a stand-mixer.
- Mix in the egg.
- Add lemon juice and mix until combined.
- Finally, on the low speed, add in flour gradually and mix until incorporated.
- Divide the dough in half and put each on the plastic film. Make approximately 6 inches (15 cm) long, 2 inches (5cm) thick logs out of each dough and keep them in the freezer for 40 minutes, or 4-5 hours in the fridge until they are firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F(177C°). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Remove the doughs from the freezer and cut them into 1/5 inch(5mm) thick slices and bake for 6-7 minutes until they slightly change color. Turn off the oven and keep them for an extra 5-6 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
