My Family has been baking these Christmas Cookies for several Generations
Even better when you let them "age" for a month
Recipe
Cream together 1 cup unsalted butter
and 2/3 cup sugar
Beat in 1 egg, 1tsp vanilla, pinch of salt, 1 Tb of orange rind, 1 Tb of fresh lemon juice

Cool (not chill) dough for 1 hour
Cut out 2 cookie shapes, same size, cut center hole into one cookie

They look especially good! I love family recipes that have been passed down the generations.
ReplyDeleteHi Francesca, these cookies are so easy to bake, never a failure. I have to ask my husband to hide them from me so that there will be a few left for Christmas. That is when they are really good.
