Lemon Thin Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Thin Cookies.

1. Step 1

   In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

2. Step 2

   In another bowl, cream the softened butter and white sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, mix in the lemon juice until well combined.

3. Step 3

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition until a dough forms.

4. Step 4

   Shape the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to firm up.

5. Step 5

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

6. Step 6

   Once chilled, slice the dough into approximately 1/8-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared cookie sheets.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for 15 to 30 minutes.

8. Step 8

   For the frosting, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Once the cookies are cool, frost them with the lemon icing.
