Aromatic homemade cookies are a great addition to any tea party. However, sometimes there are situations when some ingredient is missing for the preparation of a particular dish. Is it possible to bake cookies without butter?
To make healthy cookies, prepare the following foods:
- 200 g of cottage cheese;
- 200 g flour;
- 1 egg;
- 1 yolk;
- 2 tbsp. milk;
- 2 tbsp. l. honey;
- vanillin;
- baking powder;
- sesame seeds.
In order for the cookies to turn out fluffy and airy, wipe the cottage cheese through a fine sieve. In this case, curd lumps will not come across in the dough. Using a mixer, combine the egg, cottage cheese, honey and vanillin. For this recipe, it's best to use whole grain flour, so you get baked goods that are less harmful to your figure. Be sure to sift the flour, and then mix thoroughly with baking powder. Knead the dough. Next, roll "sausages" with a diameter of 4-5 cm from the dough. Cut each "sausage" into circles 1-1.5 cm wide. Put the cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk the yolk and milk together and brush over each cookie. Sprinkle with sesame seeds on top. Preheat the oven to 180-190 ° C and place the baking sheet inside. Bake for 15 minutes. Homemade cakes are ready.
Not only sesame seeds can be used as a sprinkle. For these purposes, cumin or chopped walnuts or any other nuts are also perfect. Lovers of sweeter baked goods will appreciate cookies sprinkled with granulated sugar or sugar mixed with cinnamon.
Instead of sprinkling, ready-made cookies can be decorated with chocolate. To do this, melt a bar of milk or dark chocolate in the steam bath and add a little milk. The resulting icing can completely cover one side of the cookie. To do this, it is enough to gently dip it into a bowl of chocolate and leave to freeze. You can make glaze stains. It will turn out very nice and not too sweet.
To diversify the recipe, add fillers of your choice to the composition: raisins, chopped dried apricots or prunes, chopped nuts, seeds, pieces of chocolate, coconut. As you experiment, you'll get a different cookie every time.
You can experiment not only with taste, but also with the appearance of the cookies. If you cook with your kids, they will love making cookies of various shapes. To do this, roll out the dough into a layer at least 1 cm thick. And then, using special molds, cut out the cookies.
Making cookies without butter is easy enough. In addition, this will absolutely not affect its taste. Therefore, more often please yourself and your loved ones with homemade cakes.
