Instructions
Instructions: Soft lemon and ginger cookies with a pinch of cayenne pepper
- Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt until no crumbs are left. Put flour and cold butter (cut the butter into small pieces) into a food procesor with a blade attached and whiz it together until you get fine crumbs. Add the cayenne pepper, lemon zest and grated ginger.
- Add yogurt and apple juice. Mix everything until incorporated (don’t overmix it). Use an ice-cream scoop to put your cookies onto a prepared baking sheet (if you don’t have the ice-cream scoop 2 tablespoons will work just fine).
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes in 200 °C. Cool on a kitchen rack. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a quick icing and drizzle on top.
