Lemon cookies

It has been a rainy Sunday all day here in Holland… A rainy day asks for tea and cookies. So I went brainstorming on a new recipe on cookies. This one is inspired by shortbread. But I changed it here and there.

 

Se here is how I made them:

Ingredients:

1 lemon

90 gr. powdered sugar

250 gr. flower

175 gr. butter

1 egg yolk

1 egg

 

Rasp the lemon skin in a bowl. Put in the butter and sugar. Mix it for a while. Then put in one egg yolk and the flower (be careful, put it one spoon at a time). Mix everything until you have a nice dough.

Put the though in the fridge for about 20 minutes. In the mean time, you can clean up the kitchen and put some flower on the worktop. Heat you oven at 190 degrees Celsius.

Take out the dough and flatten it until its about 0,5 cm thick.

Take out circles (about 5 cm) from your dough. place them on your oven plate.

 

Take the other egg end beat it up a little, then add a little bit of the egg on the top of the cookies.

Put them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, then take them out and wait 5 minutes before eating them.

They where delicious!

Have fun making them yourself!
