Lemon Semolina Cookies are the perfect treat for afternoon tea. These cookies are crispy on the outside, while having a heavenly cake-like texture on the inside. The tartness of the lemons worked in with the nutty taste of semolina guarantees a flavour that is both unique and refreshing. The cookies have a slightly crunchy exterior and are incredibly soft on the inside. Moreover, the best part is that these cookies can last for several days when stored in an airtight container.

Instructions

1.In a mixing bowl, grate the zest of 2 lemons and cream it with the softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer. Add vanilla extract, granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix again.
2.Incorporate the egg, beat to combine.
3.In a separate bowl, mix the semolina, flour and remaining salt. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the liquid ingredients.
4.Mix until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5.Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
6.Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll them into the remaining granulated sugar. Place on the baking sheet and use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
7.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Let cool before serving.
