227g butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (57g) confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (zest)
2 cups (240g) All Purpose Flour
128g confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup (36g) lemon juice powder
Preheat the oven to 175C (350°F). Have on hand a rimmed, ungreased lined baking sheet.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter and salt until soft and fluffy.
Mix in the confectioners' sugar and grated peel. Add the flour, stirring until combined.
Scoop the dough into 3 cm balls; Place the balls on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes.
To make the coating: Sift the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice powder together into a shallow bowl. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes. When firm enough to handle but still warm, carefully roll the cookies in the coating.
Let the cookies cool completely, then re-roll in the sugar. Store cookies in airtight containers for 1 week; freeze for longer storage.
