Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a saucepan, melt the butter, let it cool slightly, and then whisk it together with the powdered sugar until it becomes fluffy.

Step 2

Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and beat well. Incorporate the honey and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and zest, then add to the mixture. Knead until a firm dough forms that doesn't crumble or stick to your hands.

Step 4

Shape the cookies as shown in the photo: divide the dough into equal parts, roll each part into a log, and braid them together. Brush the surface with a mixture of water and egg yolk (1 yolk with 10 ml of water). Bake at 338°F for 20 minutes.
