Whipped Lemon Shortbread

Whipped Lemon Shortbread

Soft, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth whipped lemon shortbread cookies are seriously easy to make.

This is one of my favourite cookies during the holidays.  I’ve been making these for several years now. This recipe is adapted from the Best of Bridge series of cookbooks.  Definitely an indication of just how long I’ve been making them.

 

Whipped Lemon Shortbread
Five ingredients and one bowl is all you need.  Simply cream the butter and icing sugar together.  Add the lemon zest, flour and poppy seeds.  Beat with an electric mixer at high speed for 10 minutes until light and fluffy.  Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Whipped Lemon Shortbread
If you prefer plain whipped shortbread, simply omit the lemon zest and poppy seeds.  But it’s highly recommended as it gives them such a nice, light, hint of lemon flavour.
