Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, lemon zest, and baking powder.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cookies have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
Store the Famous German Cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, if they last that long!
