1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 lemon

Steps

Wash and dry the lemon well.
In a bowl, combine the eggs with the sugar, salt, grated lemon zest, and sunflower oil.
Mix the ingredients until you get a smooth cream.
Add the flours and baking powder, and knead quickly. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Sprinkle the work surface with cornmeal and roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
Using a 2 1/2-inch diameter cookie cutter, cut the cookies, then use a smaller cookie cutter to form a ring.
Place them gently on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
