Description

A one bowl baking recipe. I love to use this recipe when I have yolk leftovers for doing a pavlova or angel cake, and nothing is a waste n this house.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup of butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

6 egg yolks

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoon lemon zest

sugar to roll cookies

Instructions

Preheat oven a 180ºC. Grease some baking sheets or put parchment paper over the baking tray.
Mix in a bowl cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg yolks to the butter mixture. Blend well. Incorporate the lemon juice, vanilla and zest mixing well.
Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and cream of tartar) over the mixture and blend well.
Form balls of 1 tablespoon more or less. Roll them over sugar and put them on the baking tray. Slightly flatten them with your hand and bake them for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

Notes

You can substitute the lemon for lime or other citrus fruit.
