Who doesn’t like sweets? And how nice it is to get something tasty at the very beginning of the wedding celebration! To make your cookies tasty and fresh, start cooking on the eve of the wedding. Do not worry about time, because the recipe is easy to execute..
So, for starters, we need to knead the dough. To do this, use a mixer to beat the lemon zest, sugar, butter and salt until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy. Next, add the yolks and flour, mix. Make a ball from the dough and knead it for several minutes. Now you need to roll out the dough half a centimeter thick. To get a neat layer of dough, you can cover it with parchment paper. Your dough should cool for 4 hours or more..
Use a round special cookie cutter to cut neat cookies from the dough. Be sure to check whether the cookies fit in your transparent packaging. If you wish, you can use any other shape of cookie - square, star or heart.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Put your cookies on it and bake at a temperature of 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should have a distinctive golden brown color when ready.
Cookies must be cooled. While it cools, apply the initials of your guests or your own to the surface of the sweets. In our master class, as an example, we used the letter «T», however, you can make absolutely any patterns. Just lay the template on the cookie and sprinkle the icing sugar. Remove the template and brush off excess powder with a brush.
When the cookies have cooled, they must be placed in bags. Also do not forget to cut strips of paper and write the name and surname of your guest. Strips of paper can be attached to the packaging with glue or a stapler. Your marvelous seating cards are ready!
