Kurabie cookies: cooking process

To prepare the dough, you can use a mixer,but it is quite possible to do without it. So, grind softened butter with egg, sugar and vanilla. Mix the flour with s alt and gradually add to the butter mixture. We knead the dough well, which should turn out to be thick and plastic, but in no case steep. To make sure the consistency is right, scoop the dough into a heaped spoon and tilt it: if the excess dough falls out, then it is done correctly. If you knead too thick dough, then add a little milk to it and bring it to the desired consistency.

Using a pastry bag or a tablespoon dipped in water, spread our dough on a baking sheet pre-coated with baking paper. We decorate future cookies with nuts and send them to the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 12-14 minutes.

After our pastry has cooled down a bit, decorate it with jam.

So, the total cooking time for cookies is about 40 minutes. From the indicated amount of ingredients, 20 servings of the finished product weighing 25 grams are obtained.

As you can see, the cooking process is quite simple, and absolutely everyone can cook for themselves and their loved ones the favorite kurabye cookies, the calorie content of which is only 130 kilocalories per 100 grams.
