LEMON NUT COOKIES RECIPE image

Categories     Cookies     Nut

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups pine nuts, toasted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus 1 cup for rolling
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse together the nuts, flour, cornmeal, and salt until finely ground and smooth. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat together the butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a medium bowl until light and creamy. Add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon zest, and vanilla and beat to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches until just combined; be careful not to over-mix. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining sugar with remaining zest. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Transfer the dough onto cookie sheets and bake until firm and very pale golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, roll each cookie in the sugar mixture. To achieve a solid coating, roll each of the cookies a second time in the sugar mixture.

These cookies are really easy to make, but they don't have a lot of flavor. I think I'll try adding some lemon extract next time to give them a little more oomph.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have overmixed the dough. But even though they didn't look perfect, they still tasted delicious.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.

I love lemon desserts, and these cookies did not disappoint! They were easy to make and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I added a little extra lemon zest to mine for an even more intense flavor. Highly recommend!

These cookies were a delight to make, and they turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The lemon flavor was bright and refreshing, and the nuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again!
