Categories     Cookies     Dessert

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.

The lemon flavor in these cookies is spot-on. It's not too tart and not too sweet. They're the perfect balance of flavors. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

I've had my fair share of lemon nut cookies, but these are by far the best. The texture is perfect - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And the flavor is out of this world.

I made a few modifications to the recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the amount of sugar. The cookies were still delicious and satisfying, and I felt good about eating them.
