Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
  • 1 large whole egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (at least 11% protein)
  • 1 pinch salt*
  • 3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup + 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (softened) ((softened))

Instruction

  • In a small bowl lightly beat the egg yolks, whole egg, zest and vanilla.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, make a well in the middle and add the butter, sugar, salt and egg mixture.  With a fork mix until almost combined, then move to a lightly floured flat surface.  Knead gently to combine (don't over knead).  Dough will be soft.  Wrap in plastic and refrigerate one hour.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 F (200 C).  Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough from the fridge and break off small pieces of dough, soften the dough slightly between your finger and roll into approximately 4-6 inches,  to form into an S shape.  Place on prepared cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 320F (150C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
