Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 125 g butter
- 125 g sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 250 g flour
- ½ lemon(s), grated peel
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, gradually whisk in the egg yolks and lemon zest. Sift over the flour and knead everything into a firm dough. Let the dough rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to at least 1/2 cm thick – no thinner – and cut out cookies, not too small (so they don’t get hard). Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Whisk the egg yolks with the milk and spread generously over the cookies. Decorate with almond halves or granulated sugar, etc., if desired. Bake the cookies at 180°C for about 10 minutes until golden brown; they need to be a nice yellow color and definitely not brown! Stored in an airtight container, they will taste delicious and crumbly for weeks and will not lose their flavor.
