Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Zest 2 lemons
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar, for coating

In a small cup, combine the lemon juice baking soda. With the mixer on low, add in flour mixture and lemon juice mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula and mix the dough by hand a few times to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack in your oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes, just until cookies are slightly brown on the edges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set.

Conclusion:

These chewy lemon snowdrop cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and they're always a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive cookie, give these chewy lemon snowdrop cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
