Delightfully buttery and infused with zesty lemon flavor, these shortbread cookies are a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour. Zest of 2 lemons. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the butter mixture, and mix well. Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, mixing until just combined. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can optionally dust the cookies with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
