Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Finely grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir the granulated sugar and light corn syrup into the melted butter until well combined.
Add the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Mix until a smooth and slightly thickened batter forms.
Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 3 inches apart, as the cookies will spread significantly while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven, one sheet at a time, for 7–10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and lacy at the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes on the pan. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely using a thin spatula.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
