Christmas lemon cookies
This is a recipe for lemon cookies that I have tried and tested myself and always enjoy making. If you love the sophistication of lemon, you will certainly like these cookies with their slightly fresh, full-bodied lemony flavor. They always go down well with my family and friends, especially at Christmas time, but also on other occasions.
Ingredients
- 200 g flour
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 125 g butter (room temperature)
- Juice of half a lemon and zest
- 1 Pinch salt
- Glaze: powdered sugar mixed with a little lemon juice

Directions
To bake Christmas lemon cookies, first mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter, egg, lemon zest and juice. Knead all the ingredients together with your hands to form a smooth dough. While kneading, I always let the butter melt a little between my fingers so that the dough is easier to shape.
Shape the finished dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Then roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 5 mm. I recommend turning the dough again and again to prevent it from sticking.
Cut out cookies from the rolled out dough using the desired cutter. I personally like round or star-shaped cookies best.
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C fan oven for approx. 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Once the lemon cookies have cooled, coat them with the lemon icing: simply mix the powdered sugar with a little lemon juice to form a viscous mixture and spread over the cookies. Then leave to dry well.
