To prepare these delicious citrus-flavored cookies, start by melting the margarine over low heat or in the microwave, making sure not to boil it. Once the margarine has melted, transfer it to a large bowl and add the sugar. Use an electric mixer or a spatula to mix the two ingredients well until you achieve a creamy, homogeneous, and fluffy mixture. This step is essential as it will contribute to the final texture of the cookies. After obtaining a smooth cream, it's time to add the flour, sour cream, and lemon juice. Start by gradually incorporating the flour, mixing continuously to avoid lumps. The sour cream will provide a rich flavor and a soft texture, while the lemon juice will add a note of freshness and a perfect balance between sweet and sour. Mix well until the ingredients are completely integrated, and the mixture becomes homogeneous. Prepare a baking tray, which you can line with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking. Take a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle and fill it with the dough obtained. Start piping the cookies onto the prepared tray, making sure to leave enough space between them, as they will expand during baking. For an extra flavor and an attractive appearance, you can decorate each cookie with pieces of candied citrus peel. These not only add a splash of color but also an intense aroma that will make the cookies even more appetizing. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the tray with cookies inside. Let them bake for about 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. Once the cookies are baked, remove the tray from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes to firm up a bit. Then, use a spatula to transfer them to a rack, where they will cool completely. These citrus-flavored cookies are perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee, making them ideal for a sweet snack at any time of the day. The fresh citrus flavors and their slightly crunchy texture will surely delight your taste buds. Enjoy!
