הוראות הכנה
Preheat oven to 163°C.
Bring butter to room temperature in a bowl and cream until light and fluffy. Add Bergamot essential oil and mix together. Add powdered sugar and beat until the mixture is again light and fluffy.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture on low speed and continue to mix until a stiff ball of dough forms.
Remove the dough from the mixture and gently shape the dough into a ball, if needed. Cover the dough ball with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
Take dough out of the fridge and place between two pieces of slightly floured parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick before removing the top layer of parchment.
Using a round cookie cutter (or other shape of choice), cut out cookies.
Place cookies on a greased baking sheet (or a sheet lined with parchment paper). Top cookies with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes until light golden brown.
