How To Make The Most Delicious Cookies Ever

During Advent, we as children of course mainly looked forward to the presents. In retrospect, however, there was so much more that made the pre-Christmas season festive and wonderful. Baking cookies was one of them. Not only because we got to taste the dough – but also because we got to spend this time exclusively with mom, completely without any stress.

If you want to bake classic cookies with your own kids to let them have the same great experience, here’s the perfect recipe for you!

What you need

1 lb flour
12 oz butter
1 pck. vanilla sugar
7 oz sugar
2 egg yolks
1 egg
A little grated lemon peel
A pinch of salt
Egg yolk to brush the cookies

And here’s how!

Put the flour in the bowl, sprinkle with sugar and the vanilla sugar.

Form a hollow in the middle of the flour mixture and add the butter cut into flakes.

Now add the egg yolks and the egg.

Refine with grated lemon zest and a little salt, then knead the dough well and chill for at least an hour.

Cut the dough into shapes as desired and then brush with egg yolk.

Bake at 175 °C for about 10 minutes.
