I doubled the recipe as 1/2 egg just sounded like too much effort.

makes 12
45g butter at room temp
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 egg
1/2 tsp lemon essence
1/2 cup plain flour sifted
1/2 cup self raising flour sifted
1 TB milk.

1. Preheat oven to 160C, lightly butter cookie sheet or use baking paper.
2. Cream butter & sugar in an electric mixer. Mix in egg & lemon essence, then add the flours & mix to a firm dough.
3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out until about 5mm thick, cut in lots of different shapes & glaze with milk.
4. Place on cookie sheet & bake for 10-15 mins.

Same recipe but the way I made it which made dairy free lemon jumbles

90g canola oil
1/2 cup caster sugar or if you don't have caster sugar whizz it in a grinder.
1 egg
1/2 tsp lemon essence
1 cup plain flour sifted
1 cup self raising flour sifted

1. Preheat oven to 160C, prepare cookie sheet with baking paper.
2. Mix oil & sugar in a bowl. Mix in egg & lemon essence, then add the flours & mix/knead to a firm dough.
3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out until about 5mm thick, cut in lots of different shapes.
4. Place on cookie sheet & bake for 15 mins.

Ohh sounds yummy.

Do you think you could you use lemon juice instead of lemon essence?

Probably? Or just leave it out as well?

Finally got round to making these - Yummo!!! I did it with the rind of one lemon and juice of half a lemon, worked out really well.

They are quite addictive
