If you are tired of the usual yeast dough and want something new and unusual, then we offer you a simple beer cookie recipe. No matter how strange the recipe may seem, on beer the dough turns out to be surprisingly pliable and tender in its structure, and the cookies come out airy, crispy and incredibly tasty.

Varieties

There are two types of beer cookies: s alty and sweet. S alty cookies are more like crackers and are perfect as an appetizer for the same beer. But sweet cookies can be made completely different: with jam inside, with fruits or nuts, with crushed chocolate. There is no taste of beer or any shade of alcohol in baking, so any ingredients can be added to the dough.

Also, all recipes can be divided into two types: with margarine (butter) and without it. Each housewife, like a sandpiper, praises her recipe, so it’s impossible to say for sure that cookies with beer are tasty with margarine, but no, without butter. Everything needs to be tried, experimented everywhere. Shall we begin?

Butter dough

• Wheat flour - 250g
• Butter (slightly frozen) – 200g
• Light beer - 150 ml.
• Brown sugar or icing (for top coat).
• Regular granulated sugar in the dough - 3 tbsp. l.
• A pinch of s alt.

How to cook

Slightly frozen butter (five minutes in the freezer is enough) grind with a grater or knife. Add flour to butter, add sugar and s alt. We mix the ingredients. Gradually pour in the light beer, stirring and forming a lump of dough.

Experienced housewives who have mastered many beer cookie recipes advise kneading the dough as quickly as possible. Kneading too long will cause the lump to become too hard and unyielding to form cookies. A quickly kneaded dough is supple, obedient and does not stick to hands. After kneading, wrap the lump in plastic wrap and remove for 40 minutes. in the refrigerator.

To get fluffy airy cookies, it is recommended to roll out the dough no more than 0.7 mm in thickness. Cookie molds on beer can be used absolutely any. The easiest option is to simply cut the rolled layer into squares or rhombuses, sprinkle with brown sugar and send to the oven. The cooking time is 25 minutes, the temperature is 200 degrees.

If you want crunchy crackers for beer, then just sprinkle cookies with sesame seeds or crushed nuts, roll the filling with a rolling pin directly into the dough and send it to the oven.

Dough with margarine

• 1, 5 tbsp. flour.
• 0.5 l. beer dark, but not strong.
• Soda - 0.5 tsp
• So much s alt.
• Sugar to taste.
• Margarine - 120g

Cooking method

These beer cookies (photo attached) will look like profiteroles or meringues, only without the sweet cream inside. Although, if you want, you can contrive and introduce a sweet filling with a pastry syringe.

The dough is prepared using the same technology as in the previous recipe. Margarine is slightly frozen, and then crushed with a knife or grater. Add flour, soda, granulated sugar to it, s alt a little. The last ingredient is dark beer. It will not only make the dough airy, but also give a pleasant shade to pastries.

In this recipe, if you have noticed, the amount of beer is indicated more than in the first one. This is because we want to get a more liquid dough. If you want to make crunchy, dense cookies, like crackers or puffs, you can add a little less beer. If you plan, like us, to bake cookies on beer in the form of meringue, then leave the displacement the same.

The resulting semi-liquid dough (looks like a thick pancake) is sent with a spoon into a pastry bag. Squeeze out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Try to leave a distance between the blanks, as the cookies will be bulkier during baking and may stick to their neighbor. Time in the oven - 25 minutes. The temperature is 200 degrees.

Dough without margarine and butter

• 450 g flour.
• 140 ml sour cream.
• 200 g sugar.
• 300ml beer.
• 3 tbsp. l. milk.
• Powdered sugar.
• Vanilla sugar.
• Confectionery (baking) powder.
• Homemade jam.

How to make dough for delicious beer cookies without margarine and butter

First of all, put sour cream into the mixing container and pour sugar. Stir, gradually adding the sifted flour. Next comes the baking powder, vanillin. The last ingredient in the dough is beer. We pour it in gradually, varying the density of the dough with this product. After kneading the dough, form a ball and put it aside to “rest”. It is not necessary to clean in the refrigerator, as well as pack in polyethylene.

While the dough is resting, pour milk into a small saucepan, pour powdered sugar and put on the stove. Bring to the appearance of the first signs of boiling over medium heat. We keep on the stove for another six minutes and turn off the gas. Let the glaze cool.

We form a sausage from the dough, cut it into small slices. Knead each slice a little with your fingers, making a deepening in the middle. Put half a teaspoon of homemade jam there (any jam or any other sweet filling).

Spread baking paper on a baking sheet. Put cookies on it. We send it to the oven for 20 minutes. The temperature is the same as in the first two recipes - 200 degrees. Cookies can be served in different forms: watering with milk icing, sprinkling with powdered sugar or leaving it in its original form. Withcrunchy fragrant cookies on beer with jam in the center - a real decoration of the tea ceremony. Guests will sweep the treat off the table before you notice it.

By the way, the dough on beer can be puffy if during cooking several times the rolled layers are shifted together. Refrigerate like classic puff pastry, beer version optional.
