Mazurka cookies with walnuts and raisins

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Mazurka cookies with walnuts and raisins? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the highest grade flour. Take large, selected and fresh eggs. If the eggs are small, use 1 more. The eggs should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the walnuts and dry them in a dry frying pan.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then finely chop the nuts with a knife. You can also grind the nuts in a blender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sort the raisins, add hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water, place the raisins on paper towels and dry.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a bowl, beat eggs with sugar with a mixer. Beat until fluffy and stable foam is achieved and the sugar is completely dissolved. The mixture should increase 3-4 times. But it is important not to overbeat the eggs: the mass should be fluffy and with many small air bubbles. If you beat too long, until stiff, your crust will not rise when baked.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift the flour with baking powder and add to the dough. Gently mix the mixture with a silicone spatula from top to bottom, making sure that the dough does not settle and breaking up all the flour lumps.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place prepared raisins and walnuts into the dough. Stir with a spatula.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the dough in a parchment-lined and greased baking dish (25x35 cm) or on a baking sheet and level it out. The dough should be about 1.5 cm thick. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on your oven.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the finished hot cookies into diamonds directly on the parchment. Cool Mazurka cookies with walnuts and raisins completely and serve. Bon appetit!

As far as I know, these are Polish cookies, which are traditionally also prepared in the form of a pie. But I added additional raisins and dried apricots to it. In my opinion, it turned out magical and even more beautiful! Thanks for the recipe.
