Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp salted butter.
- ⅓ cup caster sugar.
- 1 large egg yolk.
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
- Zest 1 lemon.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour/ plain flour.
- 7 tablespoons ground almonds.
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch/ cornflour.
Instructions
- Cream the butter and caster sugar in a mixing bowl until pale in color. You can use a wooden spoon or a handheld mixer.
- Add in the egg yolk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat again and mix well.
- Fold in the plain flour, cornstarch, and ground almonds. Stir until all is combined and it comes to a dough. Refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180℃/ 356℉ at gas mark 4 when ready to bake the cookies.
- Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper/ greaseproof paper.
- Take a small piece of the dough or about the size of a cherry tomato, and roll it into a small ball. Then place the dough ball onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough is finished. Make sure you leave enough space between the dough balls.
- Bake them for about 25 minutes until they are golden in color and firm to the touch.
- Once you take the cookies out of the oven, leave them on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them onto a cooling rack.
Notes
- You can prepare the dough and keep it in the fridge for up to 72 hours before cooking.
- You can always shape the dough into a giant sausage and cut it into thick slices. So you can save time.
