Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar mixed with 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Anchor Unsalted Butter
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
Decoration
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces, melted
- As desired green and red sprinkles
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar/baking soda mixture and salt
- Cut in Anchor Unsalted Butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add eggs and lemon peel. Mix well to form a dough
- On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into fun shapes using your Anchor Cookie Cutter. Place cutouts on ungreased cookie sheets
- Combine egg white and water. Brush over tops of cookies and sprinkle them with sugar. Bake at 375 degrees (Fahrenheit) until golden brown for 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool
- Drizzle with melted chocolate, and top with green and red sprinkles (optional)
Note: if dough is too crumbly, add small amounts of milk to moisten until it holds together and forms a ball
