Lemon Butter cookies!

Last week, I was in Darjeeling. A small family trip, of sorts. I miss my habit of walking down to 'Glenary's' early in the morning to sip on their coffee and salty biscuits, that I love so much. With all the gastronomical missing happening, I decided to take up the cudgels to bake myself a fresh batch of cookies. I always love my cookies on the line of the famous 'Melting Moments', Julia had prepared on Masterchef Au. In other words, I love it when cookies melt in your mouth. So, an oven fresh batch of Lemon Butter cookies were made and devoured with a steaming cup of hot Cappuccino. :D No wonder there! 

Ingredients 

1) 1 1/2 cup Flour
2) 1 egg
3) Zest from 2 Lemons+ Juice from one.
4) 125 gm Butter
5) 100 gm castor sugar
6) 1/4 tsp Baking powder


Recipe

1) Beat the butter and sugar really well until light.
2) Beat in the egg.
3) Add the lemon juice, zest, baking powder and the flour to make a dough. Knead lightly. If the dough doesn't tighten add an extra 1/4 cup flour.
4) Wrap the dough in a cling film or keep in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 20 mins.
5) Take small portions from the dough and flatten it out on a baking tray in the shape of flat round cookies. (I thin it out, usually!)
6) Bake in a preheated oven(180 C) for 15-20 mins or until the edges become golden brown. Serve it with hot coffee!
