Ingredients
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- 200 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon myrtle powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, beat the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, and salt. Then, mix in the lemon myrtle powder and lemon zest.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Using your hands, roll small portions of the dough (approximately 1 tablespoon each) into balls and place them on the lined baking trays, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each ball.
Step 7
Gently press down on each ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly and create a decorative crisscross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container for up to one week, or enjoy fresh with a cup of tea!
