Recipe for Lemon Glazed Thumbprint Cookies
**Cookie Recipe Ingredients:**
2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 2 big egg yolks
Two cups of all-purpose flour, half a teaspoon of salt, half a cup of raspberry jam, and one teaspoon of vanilla essence
To make the lemon glaze:
Three quarters to a cup of fresh lemon juice, one teaspoon of lemon zest, and one cup of powdered sugar
To Begin, Make the Cookies:
1. Grease a baking sheet and set oven temperature to 350°F, or 175°C.
2. In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter until the mixture is frothy and light.
Step 3: Pour in the egg yolks and vanilla essence; whisk to mix.
4. Mix in the salt and flour a little at a time until barely mixed. A soft, non-sticky dough is ideal.
5. Once the baking sheet is ready, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set them on it, being sure to leave approximately 2 inches of space between each ball.
Make a small depression in the middle of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a spoon. 6.
Using a little raspberry jam, fill up each depression. 7.
1. Preheat the oven to a preheated 12–15 minutes, or until the edges start to become a light golden color. 2. Bake the cookies.
2. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cookies rest for 5 minutes. Then, place them to a wire rack to cool entirely.
3. Make the Lemon Glaze: 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and zest of the lemon. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. To get the consistency you want, add more lemon juice.
4. Glaze the Cookies: 1. After the cookies have cooled fully, use a spoon or a piping bag to sprinkle the lemon glaze over the cookies’ tops.
5. Enjoy! 1. Make sure the glaze has set before you serve it.
