Ingredients:

• 6 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter
• 6 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Mix until the texture resembles that of pie dough. Make a well in the center of the dough, allowing the bottom of the bowl to show through.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:

   • To the well in the dough, add egg yolks, sugar, cream, lemon juice, and fresh lemon rind.

3. Knead the Dough:

   • Knead the ingredients together until fully blended. The dough should be smooth and cohesive.

4. Chill the Dough:

   • Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill for a few hours, preferably overnight. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and roll out.

5. Roll and Cut:

   • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Remove one ball of dough from the refrigerator at a time. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes.

6. Bake:

   • Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

7. Cool and Enjoy:

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, these Christmas Butter Cookies are ready to be enjoyed or shared with friends and family!
