Time 10m

Yield 4 dozen, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 hard cooked egg yolks
2 raw egg yolks
1/4 lb butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1/4 cup sugar, mixed with
1/2 cup chopped blanched almond

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Put the hard cooked egg yolks through a wire sieve. (To do this easily, press them through with your fingers). Add the raw egg yolks and mix well.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar; add the egg mixture and mix thoroughly. Stir in the flour, cardamon, and lemon zest; blend well. Chill dough for 1 hour.
  • Roll out small portions of the dough at a time on a lightly floured board to 1/8" thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2" cookie cutter. Brush with egg white, then sprinkle the tops with the sugar and almond mixture.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until delicately browned.
