There’s something about crispness of cool Fall air that signals it’s time to turn that oven back on, and start doing some baking! I’ve been wanting to make a new cookie recipe for awhile, as my same chocolate chip cookie recipe is getting a bit mundane. When OXO reached out to partner on their Cookies for Kids Cancer initiative (they’re donating $100 to the cause for this post). It seemed like the perfect opportunity to try whipping up a batch of these Crown Shy Lemon Cookies, and try out the OXO POP baking set. If you’re looking to get more than just your baking ingredients organized check out our post on kitchen organizing as well.
At Style + Dwell we’ve always admired the OXO 8-Piece POP container baking set, and we’ve used them to organize the pantries of numerous happy clients.
A couple of features that sets OXO POP baking set apart
- These containers are airtight. They keep your everyday baking essentials fresh- which is awesome for frequent (or non- frequent) bakers alike.
- The POP accessories like the terra-cotta disk, secure neatly to the underside of the lid. Never again will my brown sugar turn into a hard brick!
- Dishwasher safe! Because let’s be honest – hand washing is a total pain.
Now onto the cookies! I’ve never made shortbread before and I was impressed with how simple they looked up front. However, I did make pretty big blunder as I only had gluten free flour at home. I figured it would be “fine.” Nope, it wasn’t fine… and most of my cookies were a crumbly mess! Learn from my mistake. After further research I leaned gluten is one of the main things that binds these cookies together… whops. The good news is they still tasted great, as cookies usually do ;).
One other tip: allow yourself plenty of time when making these cookies, as they do require quite a few steps. Once you have your dough you’ll need to freeze it to get your cut outs just right.
The OXO POP baking set made whipping up the cookies a breeze. The lemon cookies were really fun to make. My family assured me they were delicious… as evidenced by all the crumbs left behind!
Happy baking friends!
