Nuts should be included in the Christmas kitchen. Pair them with zesty lemon and sweet sugar for a delicious flavor!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of butter

Method

Sift the flour and powdered sugar and put everything in a bowl.
Add chopped, softened butter, egg yolks, lemon zest, and juice, and process everything into a smooth dough.
Cover the bowl with cling film and place the dough in the fridge to rest for about 2 hours.
Roll out the dough on a floured roll, cut out various favorite shapes, brush them with beaten egg, sprinkle with nuts, and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Place the prepared cookies in a preheated oven and bake at 320°F until pink.
Leave to cool for a while after baking. Bon Appetite!
