Simple and crunchy cookies are breakfast or snack treats that are easy to make and can be stored in the pantry for several days. It’s a very simple recipe: the shortcrust pastry used does not need to rest. Once the dough is formed, it is rolled out, cut, and baked. They are lemon-flavored, but you can vary according to taste, such as with orange, cinnamon, or vanilla flavor.
Come with me and let’s start baking.
Good recipe, Giusi.

Ingredients for Simple Cookies
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (+ some for the work surface)
- 2/5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 lemon (Grated zest)
Steps for Cookies
In a bowl, work the sugar with the lemon zest. The more you work these two ingredients with your hands, the more intense the aroma will be.
Incorporate a pinch of salt, the oil, and then the eggs.
Begin to incorporate the baking powder and the sifted flour, adding a little at a time.
Work the dough until a homogeneous dough ball is created; if necessary, add more flour.
Divide the dough into two and begin to roll it out, and with the help of a glass, create shapes.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F static oven preheated for 12-13 minutes (until golden).
