Ingredients

- 2 eggs
- Yolks 2
- 150 g of lard
Preparation
We put the flour, sugar and spices in a bowl.

Now add the butter, the two whole eggs and the two yolks.
We mix and knead.
We spread the dough with a rolling pin, on a sheet of greaseproof paper or directly on the worktop.
We cut our cookies with a cutter of about 5 centimeters in diameter and we put them on the baking sheet, on baking paper.
Bake at 180º (preheated oven) for about 20 minutes, until we see that the cookies are golden brown.
Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool. When they are cold, sprinkle the surface with icing sugar, using a strainer.
Notes
Since it is a large amount of dough, we can divide it in two and roll out the two portions separately. [br]We will also need two trays to place them and bake.
