#TasteItalia Mamma Marzia’s Lemon Cookies with Indigenous World Muscat

“In this series I am sharing inspirational Italian recipes”

Christmas is coming and it is time to bake some delicious cookies. These cookies are one of our favourites; I love to make them with my kids around Christmas time. I highly suggest you to try to make them; they will melt in your mouth.

Lemon Cookies

Ingredients:

110 grams sugar
100 grams butter
1 egg room temperature
The juice and the zest of one lemon
100 grams soft butter
270 grams flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Icing sugar
Sugar
A sprinkle of love

Method:

Beat the sugar with the butter until it’s creamy. Add the egg, mix and add the lemon zest and the juice! Add the flour and the baking powder and mix very well! Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge! Turn the oven to 350, grab the dough and start to make your cookies taking a small piece and roll out a small ball with your hands! Roll the cookies in the sugar first and then in icing sugar! Put them on a baking sheet and cook them for 10 minutes. Buon Appetito.

BC Wine pairing suggestion:

Indigenous World 2018 Muscat

Grown on a tiny 2 acre parcel below the winer y in West Kelowna, this year’s Muscat is a combination of all three clones we grow – Ottonel, Orange and Hamburg. Leading with floral and citrus aromas and transitioning into blood orange, white nectarine and kiwi fruit on the palate.

Note: This is off-dry but not a really sweet wine. I am suggesting it as a pairing with the Lemon Cookies because of its citrus notes and good acidity.

About Mamma Marzia

Marzia’s love affair with Italian cuisine was sparked at a young age – as soon as she was tall enough to reach her mother’s countertops. Today, Marzia enjoys teaching her passion of cooking authentic Italian cuisine and sharing her stories of growing up in Italy.

Tasting notes, and bottle shots are courtesy of the winery. I received complimentary bottle of the Muscat for the 2019 #FavouriteThings feature. All opinions are my own. I will also be receiving a copy of Mamma Marzia’s cookbook.
