  • 1 piece Lemon, fresh, without shell

  2. Quickly knead all the ingredients by hand into a crumbly dough, shape it into a ball, wrap it in foil, and place it in the refrigerator for one hour. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to 0.5 cm thickness and use cookie cutters to cut out cookies in various spooky shapes. Place the cookies on the baking tray.

Advice

Its best to use organic lemons, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, submerge the lemon in hot water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
