This easy recipe for lemon shortbread cookies<\/strong> makes a dough that you can roll out and cutout with cookie cutters, or even stamp out to give them a pattern. They are brushed with a lemon glaze<\/em> when warm for extra lemon flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, we are using the classic shortbread ratio<\/a> of 1:2:3 by weight, so 1 part sugar, 2 parts butter, and 3 parts flour, combined with lemon zest and lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the same ratio I used for these lavender shortbread<\/a> and it's the base for these easy lemon bars<\/a>. However, instead of patting the dough in a pan to bake, you can roll out the shortbread to cut them with cookie cutters as done in the recipe below.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n
