Lemon & Ginger == Sublime Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. lemon zest, freshly grated and divided
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In bowl of electric mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add ginger, egg, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon zest; beat until combined. Gradually add flour mixture; mix well. Cover dough and chill 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine remaining zest and caster sugar; set aside.
Drop dough by heaping teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass into the lemon sugar mixture and flatten dough; repeat for all cookies. Place remaining lemon sugar mixture in a sifter and sift additional sugar over each cookie. Bake 9 to 12 minutes until edges begin to brown. Allow cookies to cool on sheet 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove to a cooling rack; cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container with wax paper between layers for up to 1 week.... as if they'll last that long!
