Instructions 👩🍳👨🍳
-
Whisk flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
-
Add softened lard and white wine and mix with your hands until you form a ball.
-
Roll out the dough. Don’t use flour; use powdered sugar instead or the cookies might turn out tough.
-
Once rolled, it should be quite thick, as the cookies don’t rise much in the oven. With a cookie cutter or a glass’ rim, cut out circles.
-
Bake at 400°F (200ºC) for 20–25 minutes (depending on your oven).
-
Once out of the oven and while still warm, roll them in powdered sugar ❄️.
-
You can add more powdered sugar right before you serve them.
Notes 📌
-
The cookies aren’t on the sweet side, so don’t skimp on the powdered sugar!
-
Some people add a bit of baking powder to the dough so the cookies rise higher, but I prefer mine without any leavening agent.
-
These keep well up to a week (that I know of) in a metal cookie tin 🕰️.
