These cookies with a refreshing lemon hint, somewhat reminiscent of cheese cakes, will come in handy for an evening summer tea.
It is necessary
- Cookies:
- - 250 g of premium flour;
- - 50 g butter;
- - 150 g of sugar;
- - 1 egg;
- - 0.5 tsp baking powder;
- - a pinch of salt;
- - 125 g of cottage cheese;
- - juice and zest of a small lemon.
- Glaze:
- - 100 g of icing sugar;
- - juice of half a lemon.
Instructions
Step 1
We take the oil out of the refrigerator in advance so that it softens. Sift flour with baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Beat the softened butter and sugar separately into a fluffy mass. Add the egg, mix until smooth.
Step 2
If you use cottage cheese in packs, add it along with juice and lemon zest. If your curd is grains, rub it through a sieve and mix with lemon and zest. Then add flour and butter-egg to the curd mass and knead the soft and dense dough. Its consistency will not allow us to form cookies with our palms, so arm yourself with spoons in advance.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. We line the baking sheet with parchment. Using two tablespoons, spread the dough on a baking sheet and form the cookies. Keep in mind that they will grow decently in size, so don't place them close to each other! We send it to the oven for 15-20 minutes. Sign of readiness: blush from below.
Step 4
While the cookies are baking, prepare the icing. To do this, grind the icing sugar with lemon juice. We apply it to finished products, wait for solidification and serve.
