Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:
Prepare the specified products for cookies. Pre-remove kefir from the refrigerator 30 to 40 minutes before cooking (it should be at room temperature). You need to melt the amount of butter in a convenient way and leave it to cool on the table (I melted it in the microwave). Wheat flour of the highest grade, sift it. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Powdered sugar will be needed to sprinkle the finished cookies.
Step 2:
Pour the necessary amount of kefir into a deep bowl, add sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir with a whisk until smooth. When making cookies, you can use a mixer or blender. If you choose the latter, take a deep whipping bowl.
Step 3:
Break the raw chicken eggs and add to the kefir, mix with a whisk until the components are combined.
Step 4:
Add soda and vinegar to the egg-kefir mass (you need to extinguish the soda in vinegar by simply mixing it with it) and mix. Vinegar can not be added if your kefir is sour (soda will react with it). My kefir is almost neutral in taste, so I add vinegar. Consider this point and adjust the recipe for yourself.
Step 5:
Pour the melted cooled butter into the dough and mix with a whisk.
Step 6:
Add the right amount of sifted wheat flour and knead the dough. First, mix it with a whisk, and then you can use a fork or spoon. The dough turns out thicker than for pancakes. Keep in mind that you may take more or less flour than I do - be prepared for this. Focus on the end result.
Step 7:
Cover the baking tray with baking paper or grease with vegetable oil. Using a spoon, place the dough on a baking sheet in small lumps, leaving space between the cookies - when baking, it will increase slightly in size. If the cookies are spreading, add more flour. Place the cookie sheet in a preheated 160-180 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I baked at 180C. I advise you to focus on your oven.
Step 8:
The finished cookie has a golden color. Remove the finished cookies from the baking sheet and put them to cool on a plate, and then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve such cookies with tea or milk.

Is it possible to replace baking powder with soda, how to add them correctly so that the baking is lush, how to avoid an unpleasant soda taste and much more, read the article "Baking powder or baking soda - which is better?"

Easy to prepare and taste cookies will appeal to many. In addition, it is fashionable to experiment with such cookies: add to the dough or sprinkle on top with crushed or whole nuts, chocolate drops, poppy seeds.
In addition, the consistency of the raw dough is rather runny, compared to the shortbread or other cookie dough we are familiar with, so it can be baked in molds from cupcakes, madeleines and other pastries.

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
