Instructions

Step 1:

Add 3/4 cup of butter, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoons of vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 2:

Separate the yolk and white of one egg. Add the yolk to the mixture, followed by one egg. Whisk until well incorporated.

Step 3:

Mix in some lemon zest to the mixture. Adjust the amount depending on your preference. Next, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, then gradually add 2 3/4 cups of flour, mixing after every addition until a dough forms.

Step 4:

Get a small pinch of the dough and roll it until it’s about 4.9 inches long. Coat it with sugar and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough. Make sure they are well-spaced, as they will expand a bit later on.

Step 5:

Place inside the oven and bake at 356 Fahrenheit for about 12 to 15 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.

Step 6:

Once done baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a while. Serve and enjoy!
