CINNAMON–LEMON COOKIES

Potrebno je:
300 gr brašna
150 gr maslaca
150 gr šećera
2 jaja
1 kašika cimeta
1 kašika limunovog soka
2 kašičice kakao praha
2 kašičice praška za pecivo
1 kašičica rendane limunove korice
1/2 kašičice klinčića

Brašno prosejati sa praškom za pecivo i klinčićima i ostaviti sa strane.

Maslac otopiti (na pari ili u mikrotalasnoj), pa preliti preko šećera, cimeta i kakao praha i mutiti dok se masa ne prohladi.
Zatim dodati jedno po jedno jaje, muteći dobro nakon svakog.

Tome dodati limunov sok, koricu limuna i praškaste sastojke i mutiti, najpre mikserom, a zatim rukama ili varjačom, dok se ne dobije mekano testo za kolačiće.

Kašikom zahvatati masu, ređati na pleh obložen papirom za pečenje, lagano pritisnuti keksiće da se vrh izravna i peći u unapred zagrejanoj rerni, na 180˚C, nekih 8–10 minuta (ja sam dobila 30 keksića).

CINNAMON–LEMON COOKIES
You will need:
300 grams flour
150 grams butter
150 grams sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Sift the flour with the baking powder and ground cloves, and set it aside.

Melt the butter (in a double boiler or in the microwave), pour it over the sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder and beat with an electric mixer until it cools down a bit.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

To that, add the lemon juice and zest and the dry ingredients, and continue mixing (first with an electric mixer, then with your hands) until you get a pliable cookie dough.

Take tablespoons of the dough and arrange the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (and flatten the tops a bit before baking).

Bake in a preheated oven, at 180˚C, for 8–10 minutes (I got 30 cookies).
