Ingredients for lemon cookies for 18 people

• • 300g white sugar

How to make lemon cookies

In a bowl, beat the 230 grams of butter with the 300 grams of white sugar and the lemon zest, for about 3 minutes, until the mixture lightens a bit and is creamy.

Add the lemon juice and the medium egg, and beat well for a couple of minutes.

Little by little, we add the 375 grams of flour, the teaspoon of baking soda and the quarter teaspoon of salt. We beat just until the flour is integrated, so as not to over beat the dough.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. With the help of the ice cream spoon, if we have it, we are taking portions of dough. Coat them with the 50 grams of white sugar and place them separately on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until we see that the edges are slightly golden. Leave on the tray for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack until they cool completely.
