To prepare these delicious and aromatic cookies, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need fresh eggs, granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, grated lemon zest, flour, baking powder, raisins or chocolate chips, as well as cereal flakes or cornflakes to give them a special appearance.
Begin by cracking the eggs into a large bowl. Add the sugar and salt, then use a mixer or whisk to beat them vigorously. It is important to achieve a homogeneous and frothy mixture. The added lemon zest will enhance the flavor of the cookies, so don't hesitate to use a generous amount. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes slightly light in color and airy.
Once you have a well-mixed composition, it is time to incorporate the dry ingredients. Sift the flour together with the baking powder to avoid lumps forming and gradually add them to the bowl. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. If you chose to add raisins or chopped chocolate, now is the time to include them in the dough. These will give the cookies a unique texture and flavor, but if you prefer the simple version, you can skip this step.
In another bowl, prepare the cereal flakes or cornflakes. They will add a pleasant crunch to your cookies. Use a teaspoon to scoop from the cookie mixture, forming small portions that you will then roll in the flakes. Make sure each portion is well coated to achieve a crispy layer during baking.
Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place the cookies spaced apart, as they will rise slightly during baking. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and once it has reached the desired temperature, place the tray with cookies inside. Bake for about 15 minutes, but be careful not to leave them too long, as they can dry out.
When the cookies have a golden color and their aroma entices you, take them out of the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack. These cookies are perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee, being ideal for both breakfast and a quick snack. Bon appétit!
