Instruction

  • In a large bowl sift the flour, a pinch of salt, and baking powder.
  • Make a well in the center and add sugar, egg, lemon or orange zest.
  • Mix with a fork, then add oil, milk, and vanilla extract (if using).
  • Blend with a fork, starting to incorporating the flour from the sides.
  • When all the flour has been incorporated, work the dough with your hands until it comes together.
  • Take pieces of dough about 50 grams each, give them an oval shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten a bit with your fingers.
  • Place the baking sheet with the cookies in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F).
  • After the resting time in the fridge, brush the cookies with milk and sprinkle cane sugar on top.
