troll hearts

Makes 60 - 70 cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 egg
1 tsp salt of hartshorn or 2 tsp baking powder
(salt of hartshorn is an old leavening agent
which also makes the cookies more brittle
and is still in use here in Sweden, especially
when it comes to the Christmas baking)
grated zest from 1/2 lemon
14 oz flour

Decoration:
egg white for brushing
crushed loaf sugar (granulated sugar)

Stir fat and sugar and then add 1 1/2 beaten egg. Mix salt of hartshorn or
baking powder with flour and add together with grated lemon zest. Work the
dough until smooth and pliable.

Roll out the dough, little by little, on a floured surface and measure out
the cookies with a heart-shaped cutter. Brush with egg white and sprinkle
with sugar. Bake at barely 400F just below the middle of the oven for
9 - 10 minutes or until lightly colored.

Enjoy!
