This is my first time trying out this cookie recipe which I actually got (believe it or not!) from the back of a cookie cutter packaging. Well, you know...one of those free recipes thrown in when you purchase a certain baking tool at a supermarket. I normally don't really trust such recipes, but since it doesn't use that much ingredients and is easy to make, I figured I'd remain objective about it and give it a try anyway. And whaddaya know!...it actually turned out rather well. Here's the really simple recipe:
200 g plain flour
30 g cornflour
80g ground almond
150 g icing sugar
1 egg yolk
130 g butter
1 beaten egg for brushing (for me, i didn't use this)
Optional: I added 1 tbsp of grated lemon rind and 1 tbsp of its juice for a slightly lemony twist.
Cream butter and icing sugar for a few minutes. Add in the yolk and flours. Knead to form a dough. Roll and cut out. Bake at around 140-150 deg C depending on the size of your oven. Mine is small. Please note that the cookies bake pretty fast, around 20 mins so be sure to monitor regularly towards the end as they brown easily.
