Effortless Lemon Sugar Cookies (Printable Recipe Version)

Bright lemony cookies that are soft and chewy. Perfect for hanging out or bringing to a party.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - Zest from half a lemon

02 - 50 ml (3 tbsp.) veggie oil

03 - 2 eggs

04 - 60g (½ cup) sugar

05 - 30 ml (2 tbsp.) fresh lemon juice

06 - 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder

07 - 50g (¼ cup) cornstarch

08 - 210g (1 ⅔ cup) plain flour

09 - Sugar to dust on top

10 - 120 ml (½ cup) milk

01 - Once the cookies cool off, dip them in milk and then toss them with sugar for a sweet touch.

02 - Pop the tray in the oven for 15 minutes. Take them out when the edges get that golden color. Let them chill before moving on.

03 - Crank the oven up to 180°C (350°F). Grab bits of cold dough, roll them into little balls, and set them on your lined tray.

04 - Stick the dough in the fridge for half an hour. That way, it's easier to roll later.

05 - Slowly pour the dry mix into the wet stuff, stirring around until you've got a soft dough going.

06 - Mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder together in another bowl so everything's even.

07 - Beat together eggs, sugar, lemon zest, veggie oil, and lemon juice in a bowl. Get it nice and smooth.

01 - Want to switch things up? Add a tiny bit of salt or swap in lime or orange peel for some zing.

02 - Keep these cookies fresh in a sealed container at room temp—they'll be good up to 5 days.
