A delicate cookie from the Catalunya and Baleares Region of Spain. From Penelope Casa's book "Delicioso!" She recommends using lard for authenticity and best flavor.

24 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2/3 cup lard or vegetable shortening, softened
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, grated
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups flour
confectioners' sugar, Sifted (for dusting)

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
In a large bowl, with a wooden spoon, beat together the lard and butter.
3
Incorporate the sugar, egg yolk and lemon peel into the lard/butter mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and flour; work into the lard mixture with your hands to form a smooth dough.
5
On a floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 3-inch scalloped cookie cutter (or other shape).
6
Arrange cookies on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden.
7
Allow to cool briefly on the cookie sheet as they are delicate when warm.
8
When cool, coat with confectioner's sugar.

These are extremely tasty and melt in your mouth, but I had a hard time with the dough - it was unbelievably dry. I added buttermilk by splashes until it was workable, but my house smells lovely now. I couldn't get mine to look as pretty as the pictures either, but they do wonders for the taste buds

I am making these right now for the second time... they are absolutely delicious! I was looking for something lemony, and these have just enough lemon flavor and they melt in your mouth. They are definitely on of my favorite cookies now! Very unique!

These were lovely little cookies and we really enjoyed the understated lemon flavor. I ended up with 17 cookies, which was plenty as a light dessert for the four of us. Ifound they were more delicate when they were warm from the oven. After the first batch was done, I made the mistake of trying to immediately take them off the cookie sheet. They really wanted to break apart taking them off the sheet so quickly. I found that they were easier to remove from the sheet without breaking if I cooled them a bit first. Thank you for sharing the delicious cookie recipe. Made for ZWTIII
