Simple cookies with milk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Remove butter (margarine), eggs and milk from the cold 1-2 hours before cooking. The butter should become soft, and the milk and eggs should be at room temperature to obtain a successful dough. Take the flour of the highest grade, eggs C1 or C0. Wash the eggs with soap. Divide one egg into yolk and white. Above the plate with a knife, beat the shell in the center of the egg and split it into 2 halves. Pour the egg from one half of the shell into the other until all the protein flows into it.

2. Step 2:

   

   The yolk will remain in the shell. Remove the yolk, you won't need it yet. Whisk the whole egg and one protein with sugar in a deep bowl, in which it is convenient to knead the dough. Since I don't really like too sweet cookies, instead of 150 grams of sugar, I took 120. If you have similar tastes to me, do the same.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt, baking powder and butter. Whisk everything thoroughly until smooth, if there are small lumps of oil - it's okay. It won't affect the taste.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add milk and mix well.

5. Step 5:

   

   To saturate the flour with oxygen and the baking turned out to be airy, sift the flour. Add half of the required amount to a bowl and mix. Next, add the flour in small portions to achieve the desired consistency. When it becomes difficult to knead with a spoon, start doing it with your hands.

7. Step 6:

   

   The dough should be soft and tender, but not stick to your hands. Gather it into a ball, put it in a bowl and cover it with a towel or napkin. Put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn on the oven to preheat to 200 degrees.

8. Step 7:

   

   Take the separated yolk. Place it in a small container.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add sour cream to the yolk and mix until smooth. The cookie cutter is ready.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll out the cooled dough on a clean, dry work surface into a layer about 1 cm thick. Cut out round dough blanks using a mold or a small cup. If necessary, roll out the dough several times to use it completely. A standard large baking tray from your oven is suitable for baking.

11. Step 10:

    

    Lightly sprinkle it with flour, put cookies on it and smear the top with a brush using a silicone brush. After all the cookies are greased, use a fork to apply the pattern. To do this, draw waves by lightly pressing the prongs of the fork to the top of the cookie. Bake in a preheated oven, on a medium shelf for 30-35 minutes. The time may vary depending on the capabilities of your oven. The finished cookies will rise slightly and turn brown.
