Cookies with clarified butter
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Because shortcrust pastry dough is used for the cookies, you must not knead it for long. As soon as it has come together into a smooth lump, shape it into a ball and refrigerate. Only after it has cooled should you shape the cookies for baking. Baking is done. Serve at the table.
