Lemon Snow Drops




Source of Recipe


Source: Fine Cooking - Issue No. 24


List of Ingredients




8 oz. unsalted butter, at room temperature

2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Pinch salt

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

For Rolling:

1 cup confectioners' sugar



Recipe



Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Beat the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon or a mixer until creamy. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt; mix until combined. Add the flour; mix until just blended. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and set them 1 inch apart on ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheets(or freeze them on a baking sheet, as shown above). Bake until the cookies are light golden and give slightly when pressed, 18 to 20 min. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet; while still warm, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
