Ingredients
- 2 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/4 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
- 12 tablespoons (170g) butter cubed and room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For egg wash (optional)
- 2 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla.
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, butter, and sugar until small crumbs form.
- Make a well in the middle of the large bowl, then add the contents of the small bowl and mix until just combined.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then knead gently for a few seconds until a ball forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375f and set the rack to the middle level. Line 3-4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and divide into quarters. Take a portion of the dough and roll an approximately 1/2" thick by 5" long rope. Form an "S" shape and place it onto the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining dough.
- Optional - brush the cookie with the egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 13-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to further cool. Enjoy!
Notes
- It is recommended to use a scale to weigh the flour since a packed cup of flour could equal as high as 170g while a fluffed and spooned cup could equal just 120g. That is a massive variation!
- Don't overwork the dough, just combine it gently with a few seconds of kneading or until it comes together. Over-kneading will make tougher cookies.
- S cookies can be saved for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
