Lemon Cookies

These delectable lemon cookies feature crisp edges, scrumptious chewy centers, and a sweet citrus flavor. As a treat in the afternoon, I adore them with tea.

I’ve found a new favorite treat in these lemon cookies! They feature a great blend of light and bright citrus flavor, a chewy centre, and a softly crunchy edge that is bakery-perfect. Although I’ll be cooking these lemon cookies frequently throughout the Christmas season, I’d happily enjoy one on any given day of the year.

• All-purpose flour makes the base of the dough.
• Cornmeal and poppyseeds give these cookies substance and contribute to their delectable crisp/chewy texture.
• Baking soda helps them rise.
• Sea salt highlights the lemon flavor.
• Sugar sweetens them up.
• Butter and olive oil combine to add richness and accent the citrus essence.
• Lemon juice and orange and lemon zest make them bright, fresh, and citrusy.
• And an egg puffs them up and perfects their moist, chewy middles.

That’s it! Let’s bake.
