These shortbreads can also be made with lemon curd or with other spread flavours such as orange or blackcurrant.

- 1 egg yolk

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Steps:

1/ Whisk the egg with the sugar until the mixture turns white. Add the flour, vanilla extract, salt and butter. Knead everything until you get a smooth ball.

2/ Leave to rest for 1 hour in the fridge.

3/ Preheat your oven to 180°C.

4/ Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm and cut 30 shortbread cookies using a cookie cutter. Make a hole in the center of half of the shortbreads with a smaller cookie cutter.

5/ Place the shortbreads on a greased baking sheet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, making sure that the shortbreads remains clear. Let cool on a wire rack (the shortbread will harden as it cools).
