Preparation procedure
- Preparing the dough: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, ground walnuts, cinnamon, salt and vanilla sugar. Add the chopped butter, lemon juice and egg yolks. Thoroughly work all the ingredients into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Shaping the cookies: After chilling, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3 mm. Use a cutter or a glass to cut out circles 4 cm in diameter. Bake the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 9–12 minutes, until they turn golden. After baking, let the cookies cool.
