Well, anyways, I'm going to show you how to make Lemon Meltaway Cookies. They are super easy and require only simple ingredients. But, I DO NOT own this recipe! Here's the link to where I found them:
http://www.dessertfortwo.com/2012/06/lemon-meltaways/ I know it's dumb to post this when it's already on the Internet, but I figured, eh, why not? So here are the ingredients! And you can always double, triple, or quadruple (Did I spell that right?) the recipe!
You will need:
4 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar
Lemon zest (Put as much as you want!)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of flour
2 teaspoons of Cornstarch
A pinch of salt! ^_^
Mixing the Ingredients: So, first you want to mix the softened butter and the powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well! Then add the lemon zest, the lemon juice, and the vanilla. Mix again! Then add the flour, cornstarch and pinch of salt. Yep, you guessed it. Mix.... AGAIN! Your dough should turn out a bit crumbly, so don't worry!
Freezing the Dough: Put the dough on a large piece of wax paper, and roll it into a log. It should be at least 8 inches long. Roll your dough log up in the wax paper! Twist the ends and put in the fridge for an hour. Be patient. If you want, while your dough is freezing, make another batch.
Cooking: Once your dough is hardened, unwrap it. Slice the log into cookies! Preheat the oven to 350. Then, when it is done preheating, place the cookies onto a cookie sheet (Don't forget to spray it with cooking spray!) Bake for 10- 15 minutes. While they are cooking, put 3 cups of powdered sugar in a large Ziploc bag.
Powdered Sugar-ing: After they come out of the oven, the bottom edges of the cookies should be barely golden. While they are still warm (but not steaming hot), put a few at a time into the powdered sugar bag. Shake the bag up, but not too violently, or else they will break. Lightly shake it up, and PRESTO! Your cookies are done! Mine didn't exactly melt in my mouth, but that's okay, right?
Thank you (Whatever the person's name who owns the blog is) for showing me how to make these! They are so delicous, and my family LOVED them! \(^_^)/ Hooray for What's- Her- Face!
