What kind of cookies do you prefer to eat with a cup of tea? Statistics on the consumption of this dessert show that people like foreign products the most. That is, they prefer American cookies with chocolate chips, Oreo with coconut glaze and crackers
. Among domestic cookies, people are popular with oatmeal, cereal, with a layer of chocolate glaze or with bird’s milk.
Now this dessert has begun to change, manufacturers pay less attention to the technology of preparation
.
For this reason, it can be difficult to find tasty sugar cookies.
Let’s make a quick recipe for homemade lemon cookies.
Ingredients for lemon cookies:
- eggs – 2 pcs;
- leavening agent – 10 g;
- vegetable oil – 100 ml;
- flour – 280 g;
- sugar – 100 g;
- lemon zest.
Preparation of lemon cookies:
In a bowl, you need to combine granulated sugar, vegetable oil and eggs, whisk the components until homogeneous. Into the mixture chop about ½ teaspoon of lemon zest. You can add more depending on your taste preferences.
To the egg mixture, sift flour with baking powder, knead the dough with your hands. Take the elastic and not sticky dough to the refrigerator for half an hour, don’t forget to cover the
dough
with
cling
film.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Put one of the parts back in the refrigerator. Roll out the dough into a 2 mm thick layer and use a mold or glass to cut out round cookies.
From the scraps of dough, make another block of dough, roll it out and create a cookie. Spread
your favorite jam or jam on the surface of the cookie. Grate the second part of the dough on a coarse grater and sprinkle the filling on the cookies.
Cover the baking tray with parchment, transfer the cookies to the baking paper. We recommend using a cake spatula to move them carefully.
Bake the cookies in the oven at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes.
We recommend using powdered sugar to decorate the cookies.
Lemon dough goes well with peach and apple jam, as well as with pear jam.
