Little Butter Cookies that are almost too pretty to eat.

Mix the soft butter and powdered sugar until smooth.

Add the vanilla, egg yolk and lemon zest; mix until combined.

Stir in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

If you have time, chill the piped cookies for about 10 minutes. Bake at 355°F (180°C) for 10–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

10–15 mins baking

Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before serving.
