This is a traditional Dutch recipe. The name translates to "Butter Cakes", and believe me, it fits!

200 grams flour (approx 1.5 cups)
125 grams butter (approx 1/3 cup)
150 grams sugar (approx 1 cup)
1 egg
Rind from one lemon, or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Mix thoroughly butter and sugar. Add flour. Beat egg and mix half of it into the flour mixture. Add the lemon rind or almond extract. Press the mixture into an 8" square pan. Bake at 350oF for 25 minutes. After 12 minutes, brush cake with remaining egg. When done, cool 10 minutes then cut squares and take out of the pan.
