There are so many recipes for homemade milk-based cookies that you can cook this delicious dessert every day and not repeat it. Therefore, we will not look for your favorite recipe, we’ll talk about everything right away.
Why have cookies become a favorite treat?
Since childhood, each of us remembers the magical grandmother's hands, which seemed to be able to bake everything in the world. The fragrant cookies removed from the baking sheet certainly had the shape of stars, hearts and crescents. Grandma always baked cookies on milk, sometimes on yogurt. Every time I saw a huge plate with fresh pastries, I wanted to fill my pockets with it before going out into the yard. It smells delicious, crunches on the teeth and then melts in your mouth, unusually satisfying, the best friend of any tea party, and even cold tastes much better - it's all about him.
A cookie recipe for milk using yolks and chocolate
To prepare a delicious treat, we need:
- Milk - 1 cup.
- Sugar - 1 cup.
- Flour - 2.5 cups.
- Egg yolk - 3 pcs.
- Chocolate - 2 tiles.
- Sour cream - 2 tbsp. spoons.
- Baking powder - 1 pack.
Homemade cookies on milk should turn out friable and airy. Therefore, we will sift the flour before kneading the dough. Moreover, this way we can get rid of unnecessary inclusions. We start the dough with bulk products. To do this, take a deep bowl, pour the sifted flour, sugar and baking powder there. The resulting loose mass is mixed.
To prepare the cookie dough, we will not be able to limit ourselves to one bowl. We need containers for separation, as well as for whipping the yolks. Gently break the shell into two halves, pour the proteins into a small container. We send the yolks into a bowl, then shake them well with a fork. Milk will be heated to approximately 30 degrees. Warm milk will help the dough become uniform faster. Combine milk with yolks and whisk again. Then gradually pour the resulting liquid mass into the flour and begin to knead the dough. The dough will soon become uniform and sticky to the touch.
We form figures
To make the dough better set and we get cookies on milk, which is as tasty as in childhood, we make a big lump out of it and leave it to lie down for a while. 20-30 minutes is enough for the test. At this time we are preparing a work surface. Well, if the house has a special large board for cooking. If not, a clean, dry countertop will do. Sprinkle flour on the workplace , put the waiting dough and begin to roll out a thin cake. We make sure that the thickness of the obtained cake is within 1 cm. If we make it thicker, the cookies will be too soft, if thinner - too crispy, almost like a cracker. If there is a problem with the sticking of individual sections of the formed cake to the table, additionally sprinkle this area with flour.
We will cut out the figures using special molds or use a narrow glass. It is better to lay out cut figures immediately on a baking sheet greased with sunflower oil . The remaining pieces of dough will be collected again in a lump, rolled out and we will repeat everything again.
Preheat the oven
To prevent cookies with milk from getting too brown, we won’t start heating the oven for a long time. We turn on the timer for 10 minutes, and set the temperature to no more than 180 degrees. Do not forget that cookies during the stay in the oven will increase in size, so we leave on the baking sheet a gap between the circles of 1 centimeter. Otherwise, the products will stick together and have to be broken, which will damage their appearance. Very soon, a pleasant sweet aroma will spread throughout the kitchen. The baking sheet with cookies in the oven is 10-15 minutes.
Cooking Frosting
A cookie recipe on milk would be incomplete without decorating the baked products with chocolate icing. We put a pot of water on the fire, and inside it we place a container of a smaller diameter. We put chocolate in the inner container and wait for the water to boil. A water bath will immediately begin to melt the chocolate, so you need to start stirring it. And when it turns into a sauce, add sour cream to it and bring both components to a mass of uniform color. The sauce is ready. We will apply the patterns to the cooled cookies using the narrow nozzle of the culinary syringe. Cookies can be served. Have a nice tea party!
Sour milk cookies: recipe without eggs
The following recipe is literally created for the case if sour milk is accidentally littered in the refrigerator. And the more acidic the milk, the tastier our cookies will turn out. As components we take:
- Softened butter - 100 g.
- Flour - 3 cups.
- Sour milk - 1 cup (can be replaced with kefir).
- Sugar - 0.5 cups.
- Baking soda - 0.5 teaspoon.
- Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons.

Preparing the dough for this cookie is simple, and, as you can see, there are no eggs in the recipe. At first, we grate the softened butter with part of the flour, for this one glass is quite enough. Then immediately add the sour milk, sugar and soda, quenched with vinegar. Soda acts as a baking powder. If it is not extinguished, the cookie will acquire an unpleasant characteristic taste. It remains to add vegetable oil and a pinch of salt, and mix thoroughly. Add the rest of the flour and knead the dough. Without an egg, the dough does not stick to your hands.
Next, thinly roll it and grease the top with vegetable oil. Pre-steam poppy seeds and mix with a small amount of sugar (about 0.5 cups). Beat the poppy-sugar mass, and then evenly distribute on the surface of the rolled dough. Then we turn the entire layer into a roll. We cut the workpiece into pieces of the same thickness - about 1.5 cm. We spread it on a greased baking sheet and place it in the oven. Cookies with sour milk will become even softer if, after half the time allotted for baking, after passing out of the oven, remove the baking sheet and sprinkle poppy rolls with sweet water. Ready-made cookies resemble small poppy seed buns.
Cookies with a layer of boiled condensed milk
Cookies on condensed milk are not baked, however, thick boiled condensed milk is traditionally used as a layer. It turns out unusually tasty. For the future tender cookies, we take the following components:

Cookies on milk and eggs are very common and loved by housewives for what everyone in the household likes. Beat eggs with sugar in a thick lush foam, add vanillin. Put soft butter and whisk again. Mix the flour with baking powder and begin to gradually add to the whipped mass. Take a spoon and knead thoroughly. Then add milk and evaluate the result. The consistency of the test should be thick.
Single layer baking
These cookies on milk we will not roll out into a thin pancake. For this, the consistency of the test is slightly liquid. We line the greased baking sheet with parchment paper, and pour half of the viscous mass on top. If necessary, smooth the composition with a spoon. We will bake at a temperature of 180 degrees. We repeat the same procedure with the second part of the test and get two identical layers, very reminiscent of a biscuit.
We form and fasten the cookie elements
So, our tender cookies on milk and eggs are almost ready. It remains to cool the layers a little and cut round cookies with a glass. Now we fasten the elements in pairs using a layer of boiled condensed milk and sprinkle the finished products with powdered sugar. Not a single person can resist such a delicious delicacy!
