These delicious cookies are soft and chewy with just the tiniest hint of lemon with every bite. They are gluten free and perfect for those who are celiac or gluten free. Ingredients
- 125 g butter softened
- 100 g raw caster sugar
- 1 free-range egg
- 200 g gluten free flour
- 2 lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- gluten free flour for dusting
- 3 tablespoons demerara sugar
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy, then beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the flour, lemon zest, baking powder and salt and mix slightly just until you have a ball of dough. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours, or until firm.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ½ cm thick. Cut out shapes and place on a grease proofed tray. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
