Notes
- Using lemon zest – I usually add fresh lemon zest for better flavour and smell. Do not add too much as it may turn little bitter in taste.
- Dough consistency – I make sure dough is soft but not sticky while mixing. Add water little by little to control it properly.
- Chilling dough – I keep dough in fridge before rolling and it helps in handling. This makes shaping more easy.
- Rolling thickness – I roll dough evenly so cookies bake properly at same time. Too thin may make it too crisp and hard.
- Baking time – I watch edges while baking and once it turns light golden I remove it. It helps to avoid over baking.
