ENGLISH LEMON SHORTBREAD STRIPS
Lemon is a flavorful complement to this traditional buttery shortbread recipe that is remarkably easy to make.
Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 30 min Standing time: 30 min
Yield: 5 dozen cookies
Shortbread Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 tsp freshly grated lemon peel
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Glaze Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp lemon juice
Garnish Ingredients:
1 tbsp freshly grated lemon peel
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all shortbread ingredients except flour in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press dough evenly into lightly greased 15x10x1 jelly-roll pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
Combine all glaze ingredients in small bowl with wire whisk until smooth.
Spread thin layer of glaze over cooled shortbread; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon lemon peel, if desired. Let stand 30 minutes to set. Cut into 2 1/2x1-inch strips.
