These are very buttery tasting cookies and fun to decorate.
Ingredients:
6 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb butter
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/2 pint of whole cream
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon rind (optional)
add a additional little bit cream, if needed (optional)
Directions:
1. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and butter- need like pie dough. Make a hole in center of dough so that the middle of the bottom of the bowl shows through.
2. Add egg yolks, sugar, cream, lemon juice and rind.
3. Knead till blended.
4. Divide dough into 4 balls and place in fridge and chill for a few hours (I usually chill overnight).
