Lemon Butter Cookies

I have a cookie extravaganza post coming up, but I wanted to highlight this cookie.

It's light and crisp and fantastic.

I got this recipe from Sassy Radish, a cooking blog I've had been following lately.


I didn't take pictures of the dough process, so I'll just refer you to the above link. You have to let the dough rest overnight - I shaped mine into a long rectangle so I would have little square cookies. This was a great idea. :-)

After it's rested, brush it with an egg yolk and roll it in sugar until it's totally covered.

The more sugar, the better. Always.



Slice it up - this makes a lot of little cookies.


I got all 50 bazillion of them to fit on one cookie sheet, so that worked out well! Make sure you use parchment paper so they pop right off.




Aren't they cute?




They just need about 12 minutes in the oven, rotating them halfway through.


Lovely! You should most definitely make these at your earliest convenience!!

  1. I think I'll try to make this for our potluck and small group on Sunday. They look really good! And I love that they are square. :)
