Cookies made with your own hands will be a great addition to tea drinking or friendly gatherings. There is a very simple and quick way to make cookies that will impress you and your family and friends.
It is necessary
-
- 1 tbsp. brine;
- 1 tbsp. Sahara;
- 5 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
- 0.5 tsp soda;
- flour;
- 100 g of nuts;
- 100 g raisins;
- cinnamon on the tip of a knife.
Instructions
Step 1
Stir in brine, vegetable oil and sugar. Add baking soda, cinnamon, nuts, and raisins. Pickle pickle or tomato pickle will do. Only it should be fresh, not have foreign unpleasant odors. Otherwise, the taste of the cookies will deteriorate. Nuts can be chosen according to your taste - walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews.
Step 2
You can also make two types of cookies - separately with nuts and separately with raisins. If desired, use any other ingredients as a filling - dried apricots, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.
Step 3
Divide the resulting mass into 2 parts and add your filling to each of them. Then sift the flour through a sieve and knead the dough. It should be soft, but at the same time not stick to the table or hands. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Then roll out the dough into a layer. The taste of the cookie will depend on its thickness. If rolled out thinly, the confection will be crispy and crumbly. If you make it about 1-2 cm thick, the inside of the treat will be soft and more like a gingerbread. What is more to your taste - choose for yourself.
Step 5
Cut cookies from the dough. To do this, you can use special pastry molds, a glass with sharp edges, or simply cut the dough into neat geometric shapes with a knife. Pierce each cookie in the center several times with a fork.
Step 6
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. As soon as the treat has acquired a beautiful ruddy color, remove it from the oven, transfer it to a plate and cover with a clean towel. Let it cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with icing sugar on top of the cookies.
Step 7
While the cookies are cooling, brew a fresh, aromatic tea. Serve the treat with jam, honey jam, or condensed milk.
