These cookies are as sweet and tender as a piece of cake cloud. 

Their soft, fluffy texture is irresistible.

And, believe our words, their subtle lemon scent and crunchy icing makes them totally addictive. 

We recommend cooking them when you have visitors. Otherwise, it will be very easy for you to eat them all by yourself!

Ingredients

Honey Lemon Cookies

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp. light butter, softened
  • 2 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (150 grams) unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup plain 0% fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp. lemon juice
  • Lemon Zest for decoration

Directions

Honey Lemon Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar, butter, and lemon zest. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add honey, lemon extract, and egg and beat until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add one-third of the flour and combine well. Then stir in half of the yogurt. Repeat ending with the last third of the flour.
  6. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
  7. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats. Drop a level tablespoon of batter onto the cookie sheet leaving a 2 inch border between the cookies.
  8. Bake for about 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly brown.
  9. While cookies are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  10. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use a pastry brush to paint on the glaze. Sprinkle immediately with lemon zest.
  11. Place cookies directly on the wire rack and cool completely.
