Easter cookies

Method

1. 1In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, orange zest and vanilla.
2. 2Beat together butter, powdered sugar and honey until the mixture turns white and fluffy. Add 3 egg yolks, one at a time, and continue beating.
3. 3Reduce the speed and slowly mix in the flour and the orange juice. Continue beating until the mixture doesn’t stick to the walls of the bowl.
4. 4Cover the bowl for approximately half an hour and then knead the dough into various shapes.
5. 5Grease a baking pan with butter and arrange the cookies so that they are an inch apart.
6. 6In a bowl, whisk the last egg yolk with some water. Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze on the cookies and then bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 20 minutes.
7. 7Once cool, remove the cookies from the pan and serve with coffee or tea.
