Preparation of soft lemon cookies – the dough
For this recipe I used salted butter made by Lurpak.
In a bowl, whip soft butter with the granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. The butter should become light. If you prefer to use unsalted butter, add 1 pinch of salt.
Now add grated zest of three organic lemons and three tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix everything briefly.
At this point, add room temperature egg and whisk again with the mixer set to minimum until the ingredients blend together.
Add baking soda and sifted flour. Stir with a spoon briefly until there are no more visible traces of flour. The dough will be very soft. Now let the dough of your soft lemon cookies rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Butter and lemon cookies – forming and baking
In a small bowl add jsome white sugar.
Now using an ice cream spoon or regular spoon divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Take each part and form balls the size of a small tangerine. Place each ball first in the granulated sugar and then roll it gently to cover it entirely.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the first 6 balls spaced apart.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 150 ° C for about 15 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your cookies.
Proceed in the same way with the remaining 6 cookies.
Once baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
