Shortcrust pastry cookies with hard-boiled egg yolk in the dough

Hard-boil the eggs and strain only the yolks through a sieve. Combine the mixture with the fresh egg yolk, powdered sugar, softened butter, and lemon zest, then knead in the flour. Form the dough into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Then shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and form them into ropes 1/2 cm in diameter and 14 cm long. Fold each ring together to form a wreath, place it on a greased baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes.
