Enhance the festive spirit in your kitchen by trying a simple recipe for Linzer cookies with a touch of lemon.

Let’s make this holiday season even more special!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups flour
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar
• coarse sugar for sprinkling
• 9 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 lemon

Method

• Mix the flour and sugar in a large bowl and add the butter and egg yolks.
• Squeeze the lemon and pour the fresh juice into the mixture. Mix everything well.
• Using your hands, begin kneading the dough until everything comes together and the dough is shiny. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
• Once the dough is ready, form it into a “ball” and cover the bowl with cling film. Then, place the dough in the refrigerator and let it cool.
• While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Once the dough is set, remove it from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface. The dough should be rolled out to about 0.1 inches.
• Now, it’s up to you what kind of cutter you choose. Whether you want to make lemon circle-shaped cookies or cookies in the shape of stars, we have chosen the bird (owl) shape for this recipe.
• Beat one egg in a bowl. Brush each cut-out cookie separately with this egg. This will give the cookies a golden tinge when baking.
• Sprinkle the candy with coarse sugar. It will create a beautiful snow effect.
• Place the prepared cookies in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until they start to brown nicely.
• Let the finished cookies cool and serve.
