How to Make Lemon And Cumin Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cumin.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Freeze the cookie balls for 15 minutes.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
