Sunny Meyer lemon cookies are here to brighten your winter day!
When I saw this recipe on Tutti Dolci, I knew I had to make them (not to mention, I just want to make all the recipes from Laura’s blog.) I love lemon in just about everything, but I especially love lemon desserts. I have a major sweet tooth, so combining one of my favorite flavors (lemon) with anything sweet (desserts) is sure to satiate my need for sugar. I love to add that magical ingredient, Fiori di Sicilia, that I rave about so often because it amplifies the citrus flavor ever so slightly. It’s totally optional, but I highly recommend purchasing some to try out!
The dough is simple to make, but does require chilling so make sure to plan ahead. I love to rub the Meyer lemon zest into the sugar with my hands because it really spreads the citrus flavor throughout the entire cookie. Plus the sugar turns this beautiful yellow color and makes the cookies extra bright! Roll in some confectioners’ sugar flavored with more zest. I leave out on a plate to dry for a few hours so it mixes in well with the confectioners’ sugar and doesn’t add too much moisture. The cookies will spread quite a bit, so I like to dust with more powdered sugar when the cookies have cooled. I definitely recommend underbaking the cookies a bit so they stay soft and buttery. Not that they’ll last long!
