Lemon Cookies
What you need
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 150g butter
- 1 lemon
- 1 egg
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Rub lemon zest into the sugar, cream with butter, add the egg, then the flour. Chill twenty minutes, roll balls, bake twelve minutes.
How it feels to make
Rubbing zest into sugar with your fingertips is the best-smelling thirty seconds in baking.
Mom wrote on the back
Zest into the sugar first. Straight into the flour and you lose half the flavour.
