These Sparkling Lemon Pillow Cookies are light, buttery, and infused with zesty lemon flavor. Coated in powdered sugar and adorned with a touch of edible glitter, they are a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 2 teaspoons lemon zest. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling. Edible glitter or sparkling sugar for decoration.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture. Mix well until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take small portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, coating it completely. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies are completely cooled, sprinkle them with edible glitter or sparkling sugar for a sparkling finish. Enjoy these delightful Sparkling Lemon Pillow Cookies with a hint of lemony goodness!
