Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the corn starch in the Lemon Cookies recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the corn starch with an equal amount of additional flour if needed, but it may slightly change the texture of the cookies, making them less tender. Alternatively, you can use potato starch or arrowroot powder in the same quantity for a similar effect.
How should I store the lemon cookies to keep them fresh?
Store the lemon cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them by placing them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to three months. Just make sure to separate layers of cookies with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
What should I do if my cookie dough is too sticky to form balls?
If your cookie dough is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle. If it's still too sticky to form balls, you can add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a workable consistency.
