Ingredients
- 3/4 pound butter at room temperature (1 1/2 cups or 3 sticks, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 lemon or 1 large lemon, zest of a small Meyer lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup marmalade or jam of your choice, Meyer lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and prepare two baking sheets.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugar until they are creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the lemon zest and the extract and mix to combine.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together.
- Roll shortbread into 1 1/2-inch balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with your palm. Repeat until all of the dough is rolled.
- Make a small indentation in the top of each cookie ball using your thumb or finger. Spoon about a 1/4 teaspoon of marmalade into the hole.
- Place the tray on the center rack of the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden on the bottoms.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool for five minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
