LUSCIOUS LEMON COOKIES (RAW FOODS)

Luscious Lemon Cookies (Raw Foods) image

From Raw Food Celebrations - Party Menus for Every Occasion by Nomi Shannon and Sheryl Duruz. It's due back to the library tomorrow and this looks good! The book says these cookies were meant to be dehydrated but taste good fresh too. "If you are not dehydrating the cookies, use dried coconut."

SOFT LEMON COOKIES FROM SCRATCH

Soft Lemon Cookies from Scratch image

These delicious cookies have a kick of lemon flavor, and they're made from scratch rather than a box mix like the majority of recipes out there. This recipe was created because I absolutely love lemon-flavored desserts, but have an allergy to artificial colorants and dyes used in food. Following this recipe as written, you can take comfort in knowing you're not feeding your children any artificial colorings.

Time 50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest, preferably organic
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons powdered sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cream sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, egg, and vanilla extract; mix on low speed to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything evenly.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Add to the sugar mixture slowly, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour.
Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out teaspoonfuls of cookie dough, roll in powdered sugar, and place on the prepared baking sheet, 1 to 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are light brown on the edges, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer to a cooling rack and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.

Tips:

Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma to the cookies.
Zest the lemons finely: Finely zesting the lemons will ensure that the lemon flavor is evenly distributed throughout the cookies.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies hold their shape.
Roll the dough out evenly: Roll the dough out to an even thickness so that the cookies bake evenly.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature: Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature to ensure that they are cooked through but not overcooked.
Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely before storing or serving them. This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.

These luscious lemon cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are made with wholesome ingredients and are packed with lemon flavor. The cookies are also gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
