or more precisely, tea cookies to eat while drinking tea, from Bruce Healy and Paul Bugat, The French Cookie Book.
a friend’s sweet 16 birthday, on Valentine’s Day, no less!, called for something sweetly special…
i followed the recipe down to the last detail. i think that’s the only way to give a fair review, following instructions and using all the prescribed ingredients.
i might not be so obedient next time! but then again, they were so fragrant, buttery, crispy…just truly delectable with a mild whisper of lemon flavor. i think these are too good to reserve for special occasions, that i might have to tweak the methodology, to see if i get the same results.
the recipe calls for smearing the cold butter into the confectioners’ sugar before incorporating the rest of the ingredients in the same way…it got a bit hairy, when it came time to add the beaten eggs!
ahh, but the taste and the textures made the suspense definitely worthwhile.
