- three glasses of flour;
- a glass of sugar;
- a glass of starch;
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil;
- 3/4 cup boiled water;
- a teaspoon of baking powder;
- a teaspoon of salt;
- a bag of vanillin or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Sift flour, mix it with sugar, vanilla, salt, starch and baking powder. Make a small depression in the center of this mixture, then pour water and vegetable oil into it. Knead the tough dough.
Roll the prepared dough into a thin layer of about three to four millimeters, cut the dough into squares or rhombuses with a sharp knife (you can use special cookie cutters and cut figures with them).

How to make lean raisin cookies
- four glasses of flour;
- 300 ml of water;
- 1/2 cup raisins;
- three tablespoons of sugar;
- a teaspoon of baking powder;
- a teaspoon of vanillin;
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Sift the flour, combine in a deep bowl with sugar, salt, vanilla and baking powder. Pour 250 ml of water into the resulting mixture, mix and look at the consistency of the dough. If it is too hard, then add more water, in the end it should turn out to be plastic and not sticky.
Rinse the raisins in hot water, pat dry and add to the dough. Roll out the finished dough into a layer about five millimeters thick, cut it into squares and pierce each square with a fork two or three times (this will shorten the cooking time of the cookies).
Line a baking sheet with oiled parchment, place cookies on it and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake the cookies until browned on top. As soon as the cookies acquire a pleasant brownish tint, turn them over and put them back in the oven for 30 minutes, reducing its temperature to 100 degrees.
