Ingredients

• Wheat flour 225 g
• Powdered sugar 210 g
• Egg 3 pcs.
• Lemon zest 50 g
• Granulated sugar 2-3 st. l.

Directions

1. Break 3 chicken eggs into a deep bowl. For the recipe according to GOST, category C1 is used.
2. Add 210 g of icing sugar to the eggs. With the off mixer, whisk or tablespoon, stir the ingredients before they combine with each other.
3. We turn on the mixer and beat eggs and sugar with it for 10-20 minutes. The result should be a thick white mass. Its volume should be 2.5-3 times larger than that of the original one.
4. Sift 225 g of premium wheat flour into the egg mass. Using a fine grater, remove the zest from 1 lemon and also put it in a bowl.
5. Stir the dry ingredients again with the off mixer so that they are covered with a wet part. Turn on the mixer and bring the dough to a thick and homogeneous state.
6. Pour the finished dough into a pastry bag. The recommended diameter of the spout of the pastry bag is 1 cm. Grease a baking sheet or baking dish with a piece of butter and sprinkle with flour. A more convenient home option is a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Squeeze the dough out of the pastry bag onto a baking sheet, making a distance of 1.5-2 cm between the pieces.
7. Sprinkle them with sugar on top immediately. If baking on a floured baking sheet, you can turn it over and sprinkle in excess sugar.
8. We leave the cookies for proofing in a dry warm place for 2 hours. When a thin, brittle crust appears on top, the blanks will be suitable for baking.
9. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Cook the cookies on the middle oven level for 5-6 minutes. After that, we take it out and leave it to cool.
10. The bottom of the cookie should be browned and the top should remain light. We serve ready-made cookies with coffee, tea, juice, compote, jelly and other drinks.
