# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - For each cookie variety, cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
03 - Add eggs (if required), flavorings, and mix until combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for each recipe. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 - For drop cookies (lemon and strawberry), scoop tablespoonfuls onto prepared trays, spacing 2 inches apart. For shortbread, roll dough into a log, chill for 30 minutes, then slice into rounds.
06 - Bake each batch for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
07 - Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Having three distinct flavors means everyone finds their favorite, and suddenly you're the person who somehow knew exactly what each friend craved before they even spoke
- The doughs can be made ahead and chilled, so you can bake fresh cookies all week long without starting from scratch every time
02 -
- The shortbread dough absolutely needs its 30-minute chill time or your slices will flatten into puddles instead of holding their shape
- Freeze-dried strawberries must be crushed into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the dough
03 -
- A simple lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice takes these cookies from delicious to absolutely unforgettable
- Spring cookies taste best served alongside tea or lemonade, which somehow enhances their bright, fresh flavors
