The Best lemon tea cookies recipe
I’m so excited to share this lemon tea cookies recipe with you all. As a busy mom, I’m always on the lookout for easy and delicious recipes that my family will love, and these cookies fit the bill. They’re perfect for a quick snack or as a special treat for a family gathering.
The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make and require only a few ingredients. I love that they’re not too sweet, but still pack a punch of citrus flavor from the lemon zest.
My kids adore them, and I’ve even caught myself sneaking one (or two) when no one’s looking. The secret to these cookies is in the technique – you have to be gentle when mixing the dough, or the cookies will end up tough. But don’t worry, it’s worth the extra effort.
The result is a tender, crumbly cookie that’s just begging to be dunked in a cup of tea (or coffee, if that’s your thing). And let me tell you, these cookies are perfect for any occasion – whether it’s a quick breakfast on-the-go or an after-school snack for the kids. I’ve even served them at potlucks and gotten rave reviews from everyone who tries them.
Plus, they’re relatively healthy compared to other baked goods – with no refined sugar and plenty of lemon zest for extra flavor and nutrition.

Q: Why do lemon tea cookies have to be made with unsalted butter?
The reason we use unsalted butter in this recipe is so that we can control the amount of salt in our cookies. Using salted butter would add too much salt to our dough, which could affect the texture and flavor of our finished cookies.
