Cinnamon Cookies

Directions

In our mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy (it will turn white). Then, add the egg whites, beat well, and add the egg yolks.

Sift the flour and mix it with the baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, followed by the spices.

Knead until the dough no longer sticks. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about half an hour.

(At this point, I should mention that if you want to have freshly baked cookies at a certain moment, you can prepare the dough up to this point the previous day.)

Next, remove the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), and roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 0.5 cm (0.2 inches). Cut out the cookies using cookie cutters (or a small glass if you don't have cookie cutters) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle the cookies with brown sugar.

Bake the cookies until they turn golden brown. (I can't provide an exact baking time as it depends on the size of your cookies.)

• Since our cookies are thin, we don't leave them in the oven for too long. We keep an eye on them.

• If we don't have cookie cutters, we can draw the desired shape on parchment paper and cut it out. We place it on top of our dough and use a knife to cut around the edges of our shape.

Enjoy!
