| Limoncello Cookies |
1 stick cold unsalted butter
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 egg
2 ½ cups organic all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

Limoncello
1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
2. In a food processor pulse the sugar and butter together until well blended. Add the egg and mix until well combined and creamy.
3. In a bowl, stir in and mix flour, baking powder, salt, limoncello, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and pulse a few times. Repeat two more times. Allow the mixture to sit about 3 minutes to allow lemon flavor to develop. Transfer to a bowl. If some butter should stick to the bottom of the processor, just take out and mix with the fork in the bowl.
4. Scoop the cookie dough by the tablespoon full and roll into a ball. You can also use a small scooper. Place cookie dough onto baking sheet, spacing about 1½ inches to 2 inches apart. Lightly press each cookie down. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Depending on thickness it may take a minute or two longer. Cool.
5. If you like you can mix the confectioner sugar with limoncello to create a glaze. When cookies are cool, drizzle over the cookies.
