# Instructions:
01 -
Paint the cooled cookies with icing and let them sit so the topping gets hard.
02 -
Whip the egg white with the lemon juice until stiff, then slowly add in the powdered sugar.
03 -
Bake for around 12–15 minutes at 170°C (that’s 150°C with the fan on) until you spot the edges browning. Let everything cool afterward.
04 -
Roll out your dough to about 4 to 6 millimeter thickness, cut your favorite shapes, and lay them on prepared baking trays.

Blend your dry stuff and wet things in different bowls, then bring it all together by kneading a bit at a time. Let it chill in the fridge overnight.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the dough rest overnight is a must.

You’ll get about 3 trays from this batch.
03 -
Make sure the icing dries completely.
