Breton cookies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   All products should be at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat soft butter with sugar at low speed.

3. STEP 3

   

   Continuing to beat, add the yolks one at a time.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour and add it in parts to the butter mixture. Knead soft dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment into a layer 5 mm thick and put it in the refrigerator for 3 minutes. Remove the top layer of parchment from the dough and cut out circles with a glass.

6. STEP 6

   

   Apply a pattern to the cookies. You can use a toothpick, I made the outer pattern with a paper candy mold, and the inner one with a closed star piping bag tip.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I had a silicone baking tray, so I didn’t cover it with anything.

8. STEP 8

   

   Combine milk with yolk and grind until smooth.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grease the cookies with a mixture of eggs and milk. Place the baking sheet with the cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.
