Homemade Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• Zest of 1 lemon
• 5 cups flour
• 2 sticks (1 cup) La Favorita Margarine
• A pinch of salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Sift the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the La Favorita Margarine and mix well.
2. Add the lemon zest. The mixture should have a sandy texture.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
4. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and the vanilla extract, then mix well.
5. Once the dough comes together, use your hands to knead it. It should be soft and moist. Once you get there, let it rest.
6. When it has risen slightly, dust a work surface with a little flour and roll the dough out. It shouldn't be too thick or too thin.
7. Shape the cookies with a cookie cutter or a knife.
8. Bake for 10 minutes. They should be golden.
9. Let them cool after taking them out, then serve.
