Yield Makes 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
Colored sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg, zest, and flour mixture. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic. Freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Unwrap 1 half on a lightly floured surface. Let stand 10 minutes. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets. Roll out scraps; cut out circles. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Lightly press 1 end of a clean 1 1/2-inch spool onto surface of each cookie. Refrigerate dough on sheets 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle sanding sugar into imprint on cookies; brush off excess. Bake until golden, about 14 minutes. Cool on sheets on wire racks.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add an extra egg yolk next time to make them more moist.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
