Lemon Crispy Biscuits 柠檬香脆饼
These bite sized Lemon Biscuits are very crispy and full of lemony fragrance and what’s more, it is eggless. You can also replace lemon zest with orange zest if you prefer. Another easy recipe not to be missed that go great with coffee or tea. Also a great gift for Chinese New Year too.
I adapted this from Eileen’s Jam Sandwich Cookies with some adjustments. The lovely pictures of her sandwich cookies made me very eager to try this recipe very much. I’ve in fact made a few pieces of the sandwich cookies with blueberry filling the other day. The sandwich cookies are yummy but quite time consuming making them. So why not try the quick and easy way, right? 😀

Ann, these flower shaped biscuits are so pretty! But I am not sure if I can pipe them as beautifully as you did hah..hah…
I like the shape of these cookies! 🙂 and they of course look very yummy too 🙂
Hi Ann, I will be baking this for cny again but this year I want to increase the taste and flavor of lemon in the biscuits. How should I go about it? Thanks and appreciate your help!
Hi Ai Li, you can grate more lemon zest or add 1 tsp of lemon oil.
Hi Ann,
The biscuits looked gorgeous. Will bake them this weekend.
Can I substitute plain flour with cake flour or superfine flour ?
Thanks
Hi Chin, Yes cake flour or superfine can be used.
Hi Ann,I baked these cookies and they were really great! The only problem I had when baking was the dough did not come easily from the cookie press therefore it was so time consuming. What should I do to avoid this problem? I will be doing this again for CNY. Thanks for your help!
Hi Ai Li, After you put the dough inside the cookie press, try to knock flat it on the table top (like the way you press out the pattern). This way the dough will sit evenly inside cookie press and easy for pressing the dough out. If you’re good on piping skill, you can use a piping bag too.
Thanks, Ann! Will be trying out very soon as cny is near again!
Hi Ann,
Those cookies looks gorgeous! Would love to try it, may I ask if I can exclude the almond meal? Or is there any non nut substitute you can recommend?
Thanks!
Hi Belles and Charms,
Yes, you can leave out the almond meal or add hazelnut meal if you prefer.
Great!!! Thank you!!

Hi Ann your piped cookies look exceptionally good. I've never have the courage to pipe out cookies as I am afraid I'll make a big mess. Your lemon cookies must be at least half gone now … Who could resist crispy and fragrant cookies?
