A zesty and refreshing cookie experience is created by combining lemon and orange zest with a hint of fresh juices. These cookies are sure to lift your spirits and leave you feeling energized, whether you enjoy them with a cup of tea or as a snack on the go!
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 2 tablespoons lemon zest. 2 tablespoons orange zest. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 tablespoon orange juice. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup poppy seeds optional, for added texture. Powdered sugar, for dusting optional.
Instructions: Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Put in the egg, orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, and lemon juice. Mix everything together well. Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a different bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a soft dough forms. If you're using poppy seeds, mix them into the dough slowly until they're spread out evenly. Put the dough in the fridge for at least an hour to make it firm. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Remove the cold dough from the fridge and shape it into little balls. Leave some space between the dough balls when you put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. With the back of a spoon or your fingers, make each ball a little flatter. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Powdered sugar can be sprinkled on the cookies after they have cooled down if you want to. Have fun with your tasty Lemon and Orange Vitality Cookies!
