500 g Organic Soft wheat flour type 00
2 Organic eggs
250 gr of cold butter
200 gr sugar
1 pinch of fine salt
Peel of one Organic lemon

For the decoration:

PROCEDURE

  • In a blender, place the flour, add the cold butter cut into chunks and a pinch of salt. Blend intermittently, so as not to overheat the butter, until a sandy consistency is obtained.
  • Combine the sugar and whisk for a few seconds, then add the eggs and lemon zest.
  • Blend quickly to mix the ingredients, after that, transfer the shortcrust pastry to the work surface.
  • Knead the dough with your hands until it forms a smooth, homogeneous loaf.
  • Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Take the dough again, divide it into two parts and roll out sheets about 1 cm thick.
  • Form the cookies with the chosen shapes, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake in a ventilated oven at 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. In the meantime, start chopping some dark chocolate, then melt it in a microwave or bain-marie.
  • Dip part of the cookies into the chocolate and decorate with sprinkles to taste. Allow the chocolate to set and enjoy.
