Citrus Sugar Cookies
Description
In a food processor, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add sugar, eggs, and lemon zest, and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough briefly. Divide into 3 portions. Roll each portion to a thickness of 3 mm, transfer to a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 2 weeks. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Cut out cookies into desired shapes, place on a baking sheet about 2.5 cm apart. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Chill for 15 minutes. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool completely. Using a spoon, decorate with icing and colored sugar if desired. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
