Total time: 40 min
Yield: 16
Ingredients: 150 gram soft cream butter; 115 gram fine cristalsugar; 200 gram flour; 2 teaspoon lemon peel; 1 egg

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
In a bowl, beat the soft butter and sugar with the hand mixer to an airy and pale cream.
Spoon the flour with a good pinch of salt and the lemon zest through it.
Beat an egg and add half of the egg.
Knead everything into a cohesive soft dough.
When the dough is too soft, add a little flour, because the sprites may not drip during baking.
If the dough is very stiff, add some of the egg.
Put the dough in the piping bag.
Tightly close and spray a long strip of 4-6 cm wide dough on the baking tray in zigzag.
If possible, spray another same bar of dough on the baking tray.
Ensure sufficient distance.
Put the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake the spits in brown and cooked for between 7 and 15 minutes.
Cut the cookie bars directly from the oven into biscuits of five cm wide and let them cool down on a rack.
