French Thin Lemon Cookies

Thin rolled lemon-extract cookies from a rich butter, egg and sugar dough.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Cream butter with sugar until lighter. Beat in yolks and lemon extract. Whip whites stiff and fold them in gently.

  2. Step 2

    Sift 650 g flour with baking powder into the mixture. Add only enough extra flour to make a stiff rollable dough; chill 30 minutes. Roll to about 4 mm and cut small shapes.

  3. Step 3

    Bake one test tray at 180 °C for 8–12 minutes, then adjust spacing or flour only with a recorded trial. Bake remaining cookies until light brown and cool fully on a rack.
