Simple and easy lemon tea cookies


I love anything with lemon. And if it's sweet, simple and easy to make, all the better. These lemon tea cookies have all those qualities. And more than that - they are delicious!

  • the juice of one large lemon


Instructions: 

Mix all ingredients together (no special order needed).

Place the mix on a piping bag with a star tip and start shaping your cookies. Traditionally in Portugal this type of cookies is shaped into an "S", but to be honest I prefer to have them round, with the start tip to add a bit of flair (my daughter helped making this batch, so some of the cookies ended with odd shapes instead, though)

If you don't have a piping bag or don't want to use one, refrigerate the mix for one hour and then you can use cookie cutters easily.

Place your cookies on a greased oven tray and bake at 180ยบ C for about 15 minutes.
