Directions

In a large bowl, combine the butter (180 g), powdered sugar (80 g), vanilla sugar (1 tsp), salt (a pinch), lemon zest, and egg (1). Mix well until smooth. Gradually add the flour (300 g) and baking powder (1 tsp), and mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes.
-
After resting, shape the dough into a ball and roll it out. Lightly dust with powdered sugar. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet or into a container. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
