Recipe: Easy Refrigerator Lemon Cookies (food processor)

EASY REFRIGERATOR LEMON COOKIES

Zest from 1 large lemon
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
2-1/3 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Process the lemon zest and sugar in a food processor until the zest is as fine as the sugar. Add the butter. Process until fluffy. Scrape down the bowl. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Process briefly until mixed. Form dough into two 1 1/2-inch-round logs and wrap each in wax paper. Refrigerate several hours or until firm.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Slice each log into 1/4-inch-thick cookies and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden around the edges. Do not overbake.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies
