Lemon Icebox Cookies
Description
Another goody from Everyday Food and something that I may try to keep in the freezer…they’re dangerously convenient.
Ingredients
Lemon Icebox Cookies
2 c. flour
1 c. icing sugar
1/2 t. salt
zest from 2 lemons
1 t. fresh lemon juice
1 c. butter, cut into pieces
2 egg yolks
granulated sugar for rolling the ‘cookie log’ in
Instructions
In your food processor, pulse the flour, icing sugar, salt and lemon zest until well combined, then add in the butter and process until it’s sandy in texture. Add the yolks and lemon juice and pulse until the dough comes together – for the first bit, I wasn’t sure how this was going to happen and then it does, quickly and perfectly.
Divide the dough in half , shape it into 2 logs (I loosely wrapped them in plastic wrap and then used a cutting board to roll a good looking log), and then wrap well and freeze for at least 2 hours before using. I left mine in the freezer overnight and then took it out for about 15 minutes prior to cutting it up.
Preheat the oven to 350, cover a baking sheet with parchment and then sprinkle some sugar on a good sized plate and roll and press the log so that it’s evenly covered. Slice the log into 1/2 cm slices, arrange them evenly on the baking sheet and then bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Enjoy!
