Hungarian Shortbread Recipe – Omlos Teasutemeny🇭🇺

Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, mix well.
  3. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a soft, smooth dough forms.
    • If dough is sticky, refrigerate 15–20 minutes.

2. Shape the Cookies

  • Roll the dough into small balls (~1 inch / 2.5 cm).
  • Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork.
  • Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake

  • Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack.

4. Optional Finishing Touch

  • Dust with powdered sugar for a classic look and extra sweetness.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
  • You can also sandwich them with jam or chocolate for a special treat.
  • Store in an airtight container — they stay tender for a week.
