Ingredients
Lemon Cookies
- 300 g Plain flour
- 50 g Cornflour (cornstarch)
- 250 g Unsalted butter room temp
- 125 g Caster sugar
- 100 g White chocolate chopped
- 2 Lemons, zested
Raspberry White Chocolate
- 300 g White chocolate melting chips or chopped
- 3-4 Freeze dried raspberries
Instructions
Lemon Cookies
- Pre heat your oven to 180℃/350℉ or 160° Fan
- Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside
- In your food processor, pulse the flour, cornflour and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs
- Add caster sugar, lemon zest and chocolate, then process until it forms a dough (this usually takes around 30 seconds)
- Roll the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper to 1cm thick. The baking paper will prevent the dough sticking. I use this rolling pin with guides for even cookie thickness
- With the dough still on the bottom sheet of baking paper and using your preferred cookie cutter (I use a 7.5cm circle cutter), cut your cookies, then gently lift each cookie with an offset spatula and place onto your prepared baking tray. The cookies will spread just a little while baking
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Once cooked, you can gently ease them back into neat circles with a larger cookie cutter, or with a spatula. Leave them to cool on the trays for 10 minutes
Raspberry White Chocolate
- Place the white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and melt for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue to heat and melt in 10 second bursts
- Once melted, crush 2 freeze dried raspberries over the chocolate and stir it through
- Place the chocolate into a snaplock bag, snip off the corner and pipe onto the centre of the cookies (you don't need to be particularly neat!)
- Crush another 1-2 freeze dried raspberries and sprinkle over the cookies while the chocolate is still melted
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Unless it's a super warm day, you won't need to refrigerate the dough.
- Freeze dried raspberries can be found at most supermarkets, in the fresh food aisle or the health food section
