 As you can see, I decided to bake my way through Winter. No day goes by without my mixing bowls in use. That’s how I deal with this gray and cold season. But in just two weeks (!!!) it will officially be Spring! And I’m trying to get ready for it. The only thing I actually like about Winter is the citrus fruit. An abundance of it everywhere.

LEMON BURST COOKIES FROM SCRATCH

I spotted lemons on sale and couldn’t help myself. I had plans for them, you see. 🙂 Like these Lemon Burst Cookies.  I had them on my to-bake list for a while now. Most of the recipes that I have found use cake mix and I honestly don’t remember the last time I had that in my pantry. So they have been pushed to the bottom of the list over and over. Until I found the recipe with actual flour and eggs.

Ingredients
  • 1/3 c butter softened
  • 1 c brown sugar packed
  • 2/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/3 c sour cream
  • 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c powdered sugar sifted ( place in a small bowl, for rolling )
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter for about 30 seconds.
  2. Add sugar, cocoa, soda and cinnamon. Beat until all is combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add egg whites and sour cream and beat again.
  4. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. At this point you can cover the dough and refrigerate for about 3 hours, so it's easier to handle. I might have waited about 30 minutes ( impatient me, but how can you blame me - it's chocolate cookies we are talking about here! 🙂 ).
  5. Drop a teaspoon of the dough into powdered sugar and roll into a ball. Place on a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Edges of the cookies should be firm. Transfer all onto a wire rack and let cool.
