Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 200 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon myrtle powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Then, mix in the lemon myrtle powder and lemon zest.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Using your hands, roll small portions of the dough (approximately 1 tablespoon each) into balls and place them on the lined baking trays, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each ball.
Gently press down on each ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly and create a decorative crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week, or enjoy fresh with a cup of tea!
