Tangy and satisfying, this easy Italian Lemon Cookie Recipe will be a family favorite. And they're pretty, too!
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 large lemon, zest and juice
Salt
Confectioner's sugar
Nonpareils for garnish
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 400º
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and lemon zest. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together.
Beat in eggs, scraping down sides and fully combining.
Gradually add flour mixture and a pinch of salt.
Taking an apricot-size piece of dough, roll out to form a log and coil to create a knot.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies take on the faintest bit of color.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
While cookies are cooling, make the glaze: place the juice of the lemon in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in confectioner's sugar until a thick, opaque glaze forms.
Dip cooled cookies into glaze and top with a sprinkle of nonpareils.
