Ginger and Lemon butter cookies
Were you waiting winter Sundays too to tea-date your favourite book? These melt in your mouth cookies are perfect to accompany your readings with their delicate tang before dissolving in your tea in a cloud of butter...Sieve all the ingredients and put them in a metal bowl with the butter - cut into small cubes. Put everything in the fridge, together with a wide metal spatula. When everything is cold, work the ingredients gently with the spatula until they form fine crumbs, which will eventually unite into a dough. Put the dough in the fridge until it's very firm, roll it and cut the cookies out. Bake at 160 Celsius until the edges start getting golden. Allow the cookies to cool on tissue paper.
