Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest. Fresh lemon zest provides a more intense and flavorful taste than dried or bottled lemon zest. To zest a lemon, use a Microplane zester or a vegetable peeler with a fine blade.
  • Use unsalted butter. Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the cookies. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt called for in the recipe.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

With their bright lemon flavor and crispy texture, these corn flour lemon cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a formal party. And because they're made with corn flour, they're also gluten-free. So everyone can enjoy these delicious cookies!
