Ingredients

  • 60g cake flour
  • 35g caster sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Drops of lemon juice (optional)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Mixing Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 150°C (302°F) to get it ready for baking.

This ensures even heat distribution and consistent baking results.

While the oven is heating up, begin preparing your ingredients.

Step 2: Combine and Whip Eggs and Sugar

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, and 35 grams of caster sugar.

Use a whisk or an electric mixer to whip the egg mixture.

Continue to whip until the mixture holds its shape and does not disappear easily when lifted.

This will incorporate air, giving your cookies a light and airy texture.

Step 3: Sift in Cake Flour

Sift 60 grams of cake flour into the whipped egg mixture.

This step helps in ensuring there are no lumps in your dough and that the flour is evenly distributed.

Whisk the flour into the egg mixture until well combined, forming a smooth dough.

Step 4: Pipe the Cookie Dough

Transfer the cookie dough into a piping bag for easy shaping.

Pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

You can pipe the dough into any shape you desire—be creative!

Step 5: Bake the Cookies

Place the baking sheet with the piped cookie dough into the preheated oven.

Bake the cookies for 20 minutes, or until they are golden and firm to the touch.

Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve your delicious, freshly baked cookies and enjoy!
