Description

Lemon balm, an herb that resembles mint, gives these butter cookies a distinct fresh lemon flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 6 leaves Lemon Balm
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda

Preparation

Grind lemon balm leaves in a mortar and pestle, or chop finely. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg yolks, salt, lemon juice and lemon balm leaves. Gradually add the flour and soda and mix together until a soft dough forms. Form balls the size of walnuts. Dip the top side in sugar. Press flat with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or golden brown on the bottom.

These are so good – it was hard to not eat all the cookie dough before baking them! I rolled mine in vanilla sugar and then flattened with a fork. They were delicious!
