Lovely lemon cookies that, shaped like stars, make excellent little party treats. But they are obviously suited to all sorts of other shapes.
Pour the flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder into a mixing bowl with the salt, vanilla sugar, egg yolk, zest, lemon juice, cream, and softened butter. Whisk on low speed until the dough is well combined (and even forms a ball).
Wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or even until the next day).
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of 5 mm, then cut out stars with a cookie cutter. Work fairly quickly before the dough softens. Place them on two other sheets of parchment paper, which are on a baking tray.
Bake each baking sheet for 10 to 13 minutes until the cookies are light golden brown.
For the icing, whisk the powdered sugar with the juice of half a lemon and the egg white. Grate some lime (or lemon) zest on top and mix.
To finish, place the stars on a rack or parchment paper and spread the icing on the cooled cookies using a brush. Allow the icing to set and apply a second layer, or even a third. Let it dry again before storing in a tin.
