Comment préparer Old Fashioned Lemon Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and the zest of 2 large lemons; mix for 30 seconds.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 15 minutes.
- Scoop the dough using a slightly oversized tablespoon (approximately 1.2 tablespoons) onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Place baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Gently press each cookie to about 1/2 inch thickness using the flat bottom of a drinking glass.
- Optional: Sprinkle cookies with sanding sugar and lightly brush with water. Sprinkle with additional sanding sugar to taste.
- Return baking sheet to the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat steps 8-14 until all dough is used.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
