A freshly baked cookie sheet really does “make home!” And if they give off an aromatic scent and are light, like our lemon cookies without butter, even better. We have already tempted you with mouth-watering lemon variations: lemon cookies filled with cream, rustic lemon cookies made with cornmeal, or gluten-free soft lemon cookies. But combinations in the kitchen never end, so in this recipe we propose the combination of 00 flour and instant polenta flour, oil instead of butter and, of course, the irresistible scent of lemon thanks to the zest and yogurt! Easy, soft, tasty: these mouthwatering morsels will enrich your cabarets of homemade sweetness!

Ingredients:

For approximately cookies:

  • 100g (1/2 cup) Lemon-flavoured fruit yogurt
  • 100g (2/3 cup) Instant polenta flour
  • 220g (1 3/4 cups) Plain flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 45g (3 tablespoons) Sunflower oil
  • 100g (1/2 cup) Sugar
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 6g (1 1/2 teaspoons) Baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 40g (3 tablespoons) Sugar
  • 30g (1/4 cup) Icing sugar / Powdered sugar

How to Prepare Butter-Free Lemon Cookies:

  1. To make lemon cookies without butter pour 00 flour into a bowl, add instant polenta flour (cornmeal) and mix. Also add the sugar, baking powder, grated peel of half a lemon and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix to make all the ingredients homogeneous. Now add the lemon yogurt and two eggs, working with a spoon to incorporate them.
  3. Finally pour in the corn seed oil and knead directly in the bowl. It should result in a soft and slightly sticky mixture, strasferit it onto a lightly floured surface and form into a loaf. Cut out 26 pieces of about 25 g,
    roll them in the palm of your hand to form balls 10 and roll them first in granulated sugar 11 then in powdered sugar.
  4. Crush the ball in the center with your fingers then pull the two ends apart, almost giving the shape of a lemon. Lay the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated static oven at 180° C (350°F) for about 12 minutes.
  5. When they are cooked they will be golden brown on the surface and well cooked on the underside, remove them from the oven and let them cool.

Bon Appetit!
