Cookie cutters from a batter
Cream the butter until light and fluffy, then alternately beat in the sugar and eggs. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix with the flour to form a smooth dough. Let the dough rest in the fridge for about 1 hour. Then roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 cm. Cut out any shapes you like, brush with egg yolk, and bake at 180°C until golden brown. If the dough is too sticky for you, don’t worry. Rolling it out on a floured surface will even it out. Delicious not just at Christmas time. The butter and lemon add that special something.
