You can use salted butter (just reduce added salt elsewhere).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>65 g powdered sugar (confectioners\u2019 sugar) :&nbsp;<\/strong>Dissolves quickly and makes the crumb ultra-fine. Can substitute with finely blended granulated sugar (texture will be a touch less delicate).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 tsp vanilla extract :&nbsp;<\/strong>Adds warmth and rounds out the lemon, feel free to use vanilla bean seeds for extra flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finely grated zest of 1 lemon :&nbsp;<\/strong>Adds natural citrus aroma without extra moisture. You can swap for lime or orange zest for variation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>30 g cornstarch (cornflour) :&nbsp;<\/strong>Lightens the shortbread, keeps it tender. Potato starch works too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>260 g all-purpose flour :&nbsp;<\/strong>Sift with the cornstarch for an even, soft dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 tbsp poppy seeds :&nbsp;<\/strong>Adds a subtle crunch and visual appeal. You can use toasted sesame, chopped pistachio, or omit altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the Lemon Icing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 tsp fresh lemon juice :&nbsp;<\/strong>Brings zing, strain out any pulp for a smooth finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 tsp milk :&nbsp;<\/strong>Makes the glaze shiny and silky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered sugar (as needed) :&nbsp;<\/strong>The base of your icing.

For orange, you can glaze with fresh orange juice instead of lemon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No poppy seeds:<\/strong> Replace with toasted sesame, finely chopped pistachio, or crushed roasted peanuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-free:<\/strong> Use a gluten-free flour blend (same weight) plus the cornstarch. Add \u00bc tsp xanthan gum if not included. Chill dough longer and roll between parchment sheets, gluten-free dough is more delicate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No icing:<\/strong> Roll the warm cookies in superfine sugar after baking for a \u201choliday shortbread\u201d finish. For extra flavor, mix sugar with a little zest or a pinch of cinnamon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra flavor:<\/strong> Add \u00bd tsp almond extract, \u00bc tsp ground cardamom, or dip cooled cookies in white chocolate for festive flair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips &amp; Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overwork the dough:<\/strong> Mix just until the dough comes together for the most tender, melt-in-the-mouth shortbread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Always chill the dough:<\/strong> Chilling helps the dough firm up, making it easier to roll out and helping the cookies keep their shape while baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep the thickness even:<\/strong> Roll your dough to about 4 mm (\u215b inch) to ensure all cookies bake evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overbake:<\/strong> Remove the cookies when they\u2019re just set and still pale. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For the glaze:<\/strong> Begin with a thick icing and thin it a drop at a time for the perfect drizzling consistency, this helps you avoid a runny mess.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other recipes to try<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a
