Vanilla lemon cookies - Vaniljbröd med citronsmak

VANILLA LEMON COOKIES
Vaniljbröd med citronsmak

These easy-baked cookies have a fresh, lemony taste. You can roll out the dough to sausages, cut in pieces and shape them.

Approx 50 cookies

1 cup sugar
3½ oz butter or margarine
1 egg
1½ cups flour
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt

Cinnamon sugar:
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Stir sugar and fat until fluffy in a bowl and stir in the egg. Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and salt in another bowl and stir this into the egg batter until well blended. Cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge for about 2 hours to get really cold.

Shape the batter into small round balls, diameter approx ½ to ¾ inch. Mix sugar and cinnamon and roll the balls in this. Put them on greased baking plates – or use baking paper – with about an inch in between and bake in the middle of the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are slightly coloured.

Cool on the plate for a while, then transfer to a rack and cool completely.

Enjoy!
