Meyer Limoncello cookies
A buttery lemony cookie that is just plain Yummy!
Ingredients
For the Cookie:
2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Butter – A stick and a half
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Limoncello
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
For the Glaze:
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Limoncello
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
For the Cookies:
Preheat oven to 375
Cream the Butter and Sugar together until fluffy.
Add the Egg, Limoncello and Vanilla and mix until well combined.
In a smaller bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
Add to the butter mixture in increments until it is all well combined.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a medium scoop, scoop out some of the dough and roll into a ball with your hands.
Place it on the cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are set and slightly golden on top.
Let cool 10 minutes before removing them to cooling racks.
For the Glaze:
Combine the Powdered Sugar, Limoncello and lemon juice mixing until smooth.
Dip the cookies into the glaze and replace on cooling rack.
The glaze should harden in 5-10 minutes so you can stack the cookies.
Enjoy!
Notes
If you have the time, chill the dough for 30 minutes, it makes it a little easier to work with! If you don’t have the time, don’t worry it makes no difference to the quality of the cookie.
