Simple Cookies

Simple Cookies

I remember these cookies that my mom always made for me. Our house always smelled of cakes, donuts and strudels, and biscuits were every day. I keep this recipe for many years, the cookies are phenomenally soft and delicious. And they disappear very quickly. They are easy to make and a very easy recipe. Follow recipe.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 40 min.

Preparation:

Mix flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder.
Then add the margarine that was at room temperature. Crumble it into a dough and rub it all together between your palms until everything is crumbly.
When the margarine is completely crumbled, grate the lemon zest, add one egg at a time and knead until the dough becomes compact.
Close the prepared dough in a plastic container or bag and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, or best to stand until the next day.
The next day, take the dough out of the refrigerator 1 hour before processing.
Divide the dough into 3 parts.
Roll out each piece 3 mm thick or thinner if you plan to join the jam in two equal biscuits. If you go for the regular biscuit version, you can roll out the dough about 5 to 6 mm thicker.
Cut the rolled dough into molds as desired and place them in a greased pan
Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 °C.
Combine the two with jam and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Or make them only one biscuit at a time.
You can dip it in the chocolate glaze to half or just sprinkle it with powdered sugar just like this.

Buon appetito!

NOTE:

You can add orange peel instead of lemon peel.
Instead of vanilla sugar, you can add vanilla flavoring.
You can use mold in any form. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 6 mm if you are making special biscuits without joining them.
Keep in a dry place in an airtight box.
