Ingredients
For the lemon cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup caster sugar substitute powdered sugar
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC for fan ovens) and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and caster sugar until well combined. Add the plain flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest and juice, and egg, then mix until a smooth cookie dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon measure, scoop the cookie dough onto the lined trays, rolling each portion into a round ball and press with your fingers to make a small hole in the middle. Arrange the cookies in the tray 2-inch apart from each other. Fill each cookie with about a ¼ teaspoon of strawberry jam
- Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.

- Soften the butter at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to achieve a smoother dough.
- Use a microplane grater for the lemon zest to ensure fine and evenly distributed zest in the dough.
- Mix the butter and sugar for at least 3-5 minutes to properly cream them together, which helps create a lighter texture.
- Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes before scooping to make it easier to handle and shape.
- If the jam is too thick, warm it slightly to make it easier to spoon into the cookies.
