Cinnamon and lemon cookies

We arrived from Amsterdam a couple of days ago and I am still exhausted. 
We have been walking non-stop. The kids? They were absolutely happy in the park next door. They just don't need more! By the way, a huge thank you to Elena and Ruben for having us and taking such a good care of the kids.
The city is quite easy to visit and the public transportation is amazingly good, a little expensive though. We visited all the typical places any tourist would visit in Amsterdam and a couple of non-that-common ones.

Yes! My credit card is on fire! I have found many little gadgets to make my baking life a little easier.
Today I tested some of them with the recipe I bring you today: Cinnamon and lemon cookies.

Ingredients:

125g of butter (room temperature)
125g of sugar
250g of all-purpose flour
1 egg
10g of cinnamon
the zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon of baking powder

We put the flour and the baking powder in a bowl. 
In a different bowl we take the sugar, the butter, the cinnamon and the zest. We blend all the ingredients with our hands until they are well integrated. Then we add the egg and we continue mixing with our hands. We put the mixture in the bowl with the flour and the baking powder and we knead until the dough separates from the bowl and it is not sticky anymore.

We wrap it on a plastic paper and we let it stand in the fridge for an hour.

We extend the dough with a rolling pin and we cut the cookies with our selected cutters. They need to bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 180ºC. Once they have completely cooled down we can start decorating.

Today I have chosen some cutters for different special occasions. I have decorated the cookies using fondant with different colours. Here you can see the finished products.
