https://youtu.be/H8SvCl8_CXM
It’s time to treat ourselves! Find a quiet spot and devour!
Limoncello is a delicious liqueur from Italy. Tastes delicious by itself and soooooo good in a cookie that is not to be shared with the kids. These cookies have an intense lemon flavour and the limoncello icing is delicious.
You don’t need a stand mixer. You can use an electric mixer or a whisk.
These are dairy free, but they do contain eggs.
You will need: 1/2 cup olive/canola blend oil. If you don’t mind the dairy then you can use same amount in butter or margarine. You can also use vegan margarine or any type of vegetable oil.
To the oil or butter, add 1/2 cup sugar and mix well scraping sides.
Add one egg at a time and mix at medium speed. Lower speed and add 1/4 cup Limoncello.
Continue on low speed and add your dry ingredients- 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, zest from one lemon. Stir until all combined and a dough has formed.
Let dough cool in refrigerator for one hour.
Place parchment paper on your tray. Form walnut sized balls with your dough and place them 2 inches apart on tray. Flatten them with slightly wet hands.
Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 10 minutes.The tops of cookie should remain pale and bottom slightly golden.
Cool cookies on wire rack and prepare your glaze.
Mix 1.5 cups of icing sugar with 4 Tbsps of Limoncello. Hold some Limoncello back and continue to add until you’ve achieved a slightly runny texture. Balance between thick and thin that will not all run off cookie.
This recipe makes 25 medium sized cookies.
Easy to make!! Your challenge now will be to find a quiet place in the house to slowly savour this treat without interruption. Good Luck!
