These cookies are prepared and baked in no time. If you have all the ingredients ready and your oven is preheated, Mixing the ingredients will take 5 minutes and baking them will take 11 to 12 minutes, see what I mean?
While baking, the smell of freshness will fill your house, and when the cookies are cool they will smell even better.

Hope you try these soft lemony cookies!

And here’s your lemon walnut cookies recipe 🙂

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 100 gm butter
- 6 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 medium egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons crushed walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350F/180C.
- In a bowl, sift flour, salt, and baking powder. Keep aside
- In a different bowl, beat the sugar with butter, vanilla, and lemon zest.
- Add an egg to the previous mixture and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and mix using spatula.
- Add the walnuts and fold it gently to the dough, this will prevent the cookies from getting tough.
