Lemon Meltaways are bite-sized treats that freeze beautifully! The glaze can be spread on thick or drizzled on a little thinner – it’s all up to you! Either way, you’ll have a memorable lemon experience! The icing is easy to make and drizzle or spread on the baked, cooled cookies. The lemon icing really adds a lot of lemon flavor to the meltaway cookies. My favorite way to serve these cookies is with a lemon drizzle. If planning to serve this way, there’s no need to flatten the cookie before baking. The warm, baked cookies can be tossed immediately in powdered sugar like a Russian Tea Cake or Mexican Wedding Cookie. These lemon meltaways can be presented several ways. Roll the dough into balls or flatten into discs and bake until barely browned around the edges. Simple to make with just a few pantry ingredients they come together in no time. The lemon brightens the cookie and gives it an irresistible freshness. These truly do melt in your mouth and are similar in texture to a buttery shortbread cookie. Lemon Meltaways are easy to make with just a few pantry ingredients. The flavor seems better to me but I have no scientific proof to back that up. I prefer the smaller, thin skinned lemons for zesting.
Different growing regions produce varied sizes of lemons, as well. Some are thick skinned while other are not. Be sure to rinse and dry the lemons before zesting and only remove the outer layer.Įach lemon is different. Organic or not, you should always wash your citrus with a vinegar solution or soap and water.
Call me crazy but I can still taste the pesticides. I always use organic lemons and oranges when planning to include the zest in a recipe. If you get carried away with your zesting, you may end up with a bitter taste instead of the bright lemon sunshine flavor you’re looking for. Zest only the yellow outer skin of the lemon, and no white pith. But who wants to talk about the cold when there are delicious, lemony, melt-in-your-mouth cookies to share?!? It seems like it has been a long, long winter. Now that we’ve had our snow – I’m ready for blooming dogwood trees, tiny tomato plants in the garden, asparagus peaking out from the frozen ground and I can’t wait to go camping and kayaking again! I’m really not complaining because we’ve all wished for a good snow this year. The forecast is calling for -4 degrees tomorrow night, we have about 7 inches of snow on the ground and a cold front coming in. Lemon Meltaways ~ Light and buttery, these lemon bite-sized cookies are a real treat!ĭo you think if I post bright lemony recipes like these Lemon Meltaways, spring will come early?
