Mailanderli Preparation
BEAT butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla; beat till combined. Beat in eggs. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour and lemon peel with a wooden spoon. If necessary, knead dough till smooth. Divide in half. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours or till easy to handle. ROLL each half of dough 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface (or as directed below). Cut with desired 2- or 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with a mixture of beaten egg yolk and water. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes or till edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks. Frost with tinted Powdered Sugar Icing, if desired. Makes about 40. POWDERED SUGAR ICING: Combine 2 cups sifted powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a mixing bowl. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, till it reaches desired consistency. ALMOND RINGS: Roll Mailanderli dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rings (use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, then cut with a 1-inch cutter to remove centers). Brush with egg yolk and water mixture, and sprinkle with 3/4 cup sliced almonds. Bake as directed. Makes about 48. B1SHOP”S HATS: Roll Mailanderli douph
