Ingredients
  

  • 200 g butter
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • 350 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • orange zest to taste
  • lemon zest to taste

Method
 

  1. Beat the butter with the powdered sugar into a light, airy mixture.
  2. Add the baking powder and zest, and mix.
  3. Add the flour and knead the dough by hand, but only briefly. Gather the dough into a ball and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough into a very thin sheet, about 2 mm thick, and cut out cookies using cutters.
  5. Bake in an oven preheated to 180-190C for 10-15 minutes. The finished cookies should be golden and very fragrant. Bon appetit!

Notes

Don't overwork the dough - how briefly you knead it determines how crumbly the cookies turn out.
