Ham and Goodys Lemon Cookies ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chopped ham
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
How To Make Ham and Goodys Lemon Cookies
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice and beat until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Stir in the chopped ham.
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon and shape it into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges.
Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, make the lemon glaze by whisking together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie.
Tips on how to always make the perfect Ham and Goodys lemon cookies
Some suggestions for improving your Ham and Goodys Lemon Cookies:
- Make sure you’re using the good stuff. If you want consistently delicious cookies, invest in high-quality ingredients. Don’t skimp on the quality ham and fresh lemon juice/zest.
- Don’t guess on the ingredient amounts. Making perfect cookies every time requires precise measuring of ingredients. For the dry ingredients, use a measuring cup, and for the liquids, a kitchen scale.
- The butter and sugar should be creamed until fluffy. This is a crucial step that adds air to the dough and makes the cookies light and airy. At a minimum of three to four minutes, cream the butter and sugar.
- Take care not to overwork the dough. Tough cookies can result if the dough is mixed for too long. Do not overwork the dough; stop mixing as soon as it comes together.
- It’s best to wait until the cookies are completely cool before glazing them. Hot cookies are not suitable for icing. Glaze the cookies after they have cooled completely on a wire rack.
To suit your personal preference, you can vary the amount of lemon juice used in the glaze. You can tailor the glaze to your taste by adjusting the amount of lemon juice used. A glaze can be made sourer by adding more lemon juice. Reduce the amount of lemon juice in the glaze if you like it sweeter. Put some of the glazes on a spoon and see if it needs any tweaking.
Follow these directions, and you’ll have no trouble baking Ham and Goodys Lemon Cookies that everyone will love. Have fun in the kitchen!
