How to Make Easy Lemon Shorties
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Stir in the lemon zest until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc to 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Using a 2-inch floured cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Start checking at 17 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
