How to Make Ginetti Italian Puff Cookies

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely to room temperature.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 2 large eggs together with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and very thick (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest and the cooled melted butter until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze (recipe to be added).
  10. Remove cookies from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before glazing.
  11. Drizzle warm cookies with the prepared glaze.
  12. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
