Simple sugar cookies
Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. For the cookies, I use a boiled egg yolk instead of a raw one, which makes the shortbread soft. You can decorate them any way you like, even with plain white sugar. The recipe is very simple, and the cookies take only 20–30 minutes to prepare. All the ingredients are always on hand. Serve with tea or coffee.
