Alright, so now it's time to get going on our lemon thumbprint cookies. To get the most juice out of your lemons, get them at room temperature. If you're storing them in the fridge you can actually put them in the microwave for a few seconds. Don't cook them. Just about thirty seconds should be enough to get them at the right temperature. I don't want to squeeze this lemon juice right into my batter. I?m doing it ahead of time so I can fish out any rouge seeds. OK, so I've got a cup of room temperature butter right here. It's very soft, and to that I?m going to add half a cup of sugar. You see how easily it creams. When butter is at room temperature, look at that texture. It's perfect. Now, I?m going to be needing two large egg yolks, so I?m going to separate them like so. One more. I've see these things on the market that separate, egg separators, but I don't think that you need one when you can just use the two sides of the shell. Blend that in and finally, they're lemon thumbprint cookies, right? Now we'll move on to our dry ingredients.
