Italian S Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in the softened butter and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, then mix until a dough forms. If too dry, add milk gradually.

Step 5

Divide dough into small pieces and roll each into a rope about 6 inches long. Shape into an “S” and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
