kareinaMy step sister reported to me this morning that while they were hanging out with mom one of them mentioned having cookies, and my mom said "Cookies!?!" in a happy tone, but when given the choice of chocolate chip or raisin she said "Oh." in a rather disappointing tone, so my sisters asked "what kind of cookies do you want?", to which she replied "lemon", so they all promptly said that they would make the suggestion to me, and perhaps I would bake some. Bake cookies? Of course I would love to!
Kirsty thought that something nice and soft would be wise, and this is what I came up with:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
zest and juice from one lemon
2 t baking powder
1/4 cup corn starch
1/3 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup almond meal
2 cups white (wheat) flour
Cream together the butter and sugar, beat in one egg at a time, add the lemon, then stir in the baking powder, corn starch, rice flour and almond meal. Add the wheat flour last. Measure one table spoon of dough at a time, roll into a ball and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake at 350 F for 5 to 7 minutes. (Don't use my sister's oven, lest the bottom pan get a bit dark on the bottoms.)
