Delicious lemon shortbread cookies made with butter, confectioners’ sugar, and lemon zest. These cookies are easy to prepare and will fascinate with their delightful flavor, perfect for any occasion.
1: Cream together butter, salt, powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon extract.
2: Sift in flour and stir until just combined.
3: Pour mixture into plastic wrap (it will be crumbly) and press into a square. Roll square out to be about 1/2 inch thick and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
4: When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° F.
5: Cut into desired shape; plain squares are okay too.
6: Bake for about 5 minutes (check these constantly. This will depend on your oven but you want them to be pale on top, still not brown. They bake pretty fast).
7: Top with some powdered sugar and lemon curd and devour.
