Shortbread with eggs and butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake shortbread cookies with eggs and butter? Very easy and fast. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the highest grade flour. I have a large, selected egg. If the eggs are small, you can use 2 pieces, but keep in mind that in this case you may need more flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a bowl. Add sugar, baking powder and vanillin to the flour and mix well.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Grind everything into fine crumbs with your hands. To save time, you can mix everything in a blender bowl and beat until fine crumbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add an egg to the sand crumbs. Using your hands, quickly knead into a homogeneous, elastic shortbread dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   As soon as the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and stops sticking to your hands, it is ready. If necessary, you can add a little more flour. You can start working with the dough right away or put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Roll out the shortbread dough on a floured table into a layer about 1 cm thick. The dough is very pliable, easily rolls out in the desired direction, and does not stick to the table. Using a shot glass or narrow glass, cut out circles from the dough. They can be any size depending on what size cookies you prefer.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the cookies spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a fork to make a cross pattern on the surface of the cookies. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15-20 minutes. The exact baking time depends on your oven. Make sure the cookies don't burn on the bottom. When baking, the pattern may lose clarity. If you wish, you can use a fork to stamp the cookie again halfway through the baking process.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the finished cookies on a plate and serve. Bon appetit!

I was expecting my granddaughter to visit and prepared cookies for her according to the recipe for shortbread cookies with eggs and butter. Made for 4 servings. I adjusted the recipe a little and instead of one egg I put two in the dough, the eggs were small - the second category. I had to increase the amount of flour in order to achieve the desired consistency of the dough (as advised in the recipe). Having combined all the ingredients, kneaded the dough, put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. The dough turned out to be plastic and easy to roll out. I cut out the cookie blanks with a glass. There were 20 pieces in total. I baked for 25 minutes at 220° (I set the temperature based on the operation of my oven). The aroma in the house while cooking was amazing! My cookies turned out soft, moderately crumbly and moderately sweet. My granddaughter was pleased. Thank you very much for the recipe!
