Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 355 degrees

Step 2

Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.

Step 3

Add, cinnamon, zest and egg and mix.

Step 4

Mix levure chimique (or baking powder), flour and almond flour together and add to egg mixture a third at a time. You can do all this in kitchen aid mixer and when dough starts to come together finish by hand to make a ball of dough. Chill dough for about an hour.

Step 5

I divide dough in about 3 portions to make it easier to roll out. Roll to about 1/8" thickness. Cut with cookie cutters.

Step 6

Place cut out cookies on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. It is easier to lift off from workspace using a thin spatula. Re-roll scraps for more cookies. Brush cookies with egg yolk into which you have beaten 1 tbsp water.

Step 7

If desired sprinkle some of your cookies with sugar sprinkles. It looks nice to have some plain and some sprinkled mixed together.

Step 8

Cook until tops are browned, 17 to 20 mns.
