Recipe By Lauren

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter (110g), Softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar


Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease light colored baking sheets with non stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest and juice. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again. Stir in all dry ingredients (except powdered sugar) slowly until just combined. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly.

Pour powdered sugar onto a large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottom of cookies begin to barely brown and cookies have a matte finish (not melty or shiny). Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

*If using a non stick darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.

A WIP but am pleased with my new ‘landing strip’ of #IKEA cupboards. Well done @micpicks for having the patience! One day I might even adjust those doors. ;-) Idea “inspired” (stolen) from @weekdaycarnival

My foyer right now.  I posted the same corner almost exactly two years ago as it was my favourite corner then…not much has changed but the process to get to this has taken 2 years and am getting happier with it every day…so, a little show & tell – like me, it has evolved and will continue to do so.  :-)

Sleek metals, stone worktop and metro tiles warmed by wood.  Oh yeah.

Not my style at all but I like the bookshelves at the end of the island.

A Merry Mishap always rocks it.  Too cool…a new big bed for her wee man.  :-)
