  • Cooking Time: 35 minutes
  • Difficulty: 1
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 120 g Sugar, white

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest, fresh

  • 40 g Butter, unsalted

  • 2 spoons Milk, whole milk

  • 300 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder

  • pieces Nuts, hazelnuts

  • pieces Cranberries, dried

Steps

  1. Beat the eggs until frothy and add the following ingredients in order: granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, butter, milk or water, baking powder, and flour. Once a smooth but very thick dough forms, mix in the chopped nuts and/or cranberries with a spoon or spatula.

  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Divide the dough into two parts and shape each into a long roll (almost as long as the baking tray) on a lightly floured surface. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and flatten them with wet hands to about 1 cm thickness.

  3. Place the tray in the oven and let the loaves bake in the middle rack for about 25–30 minutes, or until the dough turns golden yellow.

  4. Once the loaves are baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the dough cool slightly for a few minutes. Then, slice them diagonally into 1 to 2 cm thick slices, arrange them on the tray, and return them to the heated oven for a few more minutes to let the cookies dry out a bit.

  5. Let the cookies cool before serving, and optionally dip them in melted chocolate (white or dark).
