All children and many adults love sweets. But I don’t really want to spend money on purchased desserts - sometimes you can find half of the periodic table in their composition. And for something complicated, often just not enough time. But you can always bake biscuit cookies that do not require a long list of ingredients, while they are tasty. Moreover, they can be arranged in such a way that it will not be a shame to put it on the holiday table.
Biscuit Cookies: Easy and Quick Recipe
There are a lot of options for making dough. However, many of them require effort: the separation of eggs into yolks and squirrels, and other delicate culinary manipulations. But there is a way to make biscuit cookies in just half an hour. Moreover, even a child will cope with the recipe. Only the baking process in the oven will have to be controlled.
The dough will take about five minutes. For him, two eggs are whipped until foam with sugar, which is taken in half or two-thirds of a glass, it all depends on personal preferences. Keep in mind that biscuit cookies with a higher sugar content turn out to be crispy, and with a smaller one - softer. Then flour is added, about half a cup. Pour it gradually, with continuous whipping. The dough should be liquid, but not excessive.
The baking sheet is covered with parchment, on which the mass is laid out with a spoon. There should be a sufficiently large distance between the cakes so that they do not stick together in a common layer. The sheet is put into the oven, heated to +180 ° C, and left in it for 10-15 minutes.
What to add to biscuit cookies?
The taste of baking can be diversified even at the stage of dough preparation. The biscuit cookie gets interesting flavoring notes when vanilla or cinnamon, ground nuts or grated chocolate, zest of lemon or orange are added. It is not forbidden to come up with something more original.
Nice additions
Some sweet tooth do not really like just biscuit cookies, it seems a bit dry. The solution is simple: cookies can be paired using something liquid but sticky. The simplest options: jam, jam or thickened honey. But tastier is the biscuit dough cookies with chocolate cream. For it, you need to heat half a can of condensed milk in the microwave or in a water bath. When it warms up well, a bar of chocolate, surely dark, will crumble into the container. As soon as it begins to bloom, you need to intensively stir with a spoon to make the mass homogeneous. After cooling the cream, it is transferred to a cooking bag, with which it is applied to the "bottom" of one cookie. The second is simply placed on top.
For a birthday
Even with a delicious layer on a festive day, biscuit cookies may not seem like a very worthy dessert. To give it elegance, you will have to work hard and build roses from cookies. Cookies are baked small, the dough is laid out with a teaspoon. This time it is better not to use parchment, but it is good to smear a baking sheet with margarine. Only five “petals” are laid out at a time, since when cooling the cakes quickly harden, losing their flexibility and plasticity. The oven must be preheated to +200 ° C, and the baking time is reduced to five minutes. Ready cookies are browned around the edge, but remain soft in the middle.
The petal is carefully removed with a spatula, and with the help of a paper towel or towel is twisted into a cone. The next “petal” is wrapped at the top in compliance with the shape of the rose. And so on until the cookies run out. When you get the hang of it, you can try to slightly bend the petals outward.
Ready roses can be safely folded into a vase, after cooling, they will not fall apart. If desired, the edges of the petals are smeared with hot chocolate or sprinkled with powdered sugar - this is even more elegant and appetizing.
Without a habit, biscuit roses form slowly, but after the fifth or sixth, their folding takes a matter of seconds. In addition, practice shows that the heroes of the occasion willingly take part in such creativity. So the festive mood comes even earlier than the holiday itself.
By the way, cakes are often decorated with roses from such cookies. Biscuit cookies are a light and tasty treat for tea. It is easy to cook at home, so it is so popular among housewives.
