Milk cookies like in kindergarten

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
Sugar - 3.2 oz
Butter - 1.8 oz
Milk - 1 fl oz
Vanillin - a pinch
Salt - a pinch
Chicken Egg - ½ pieces
Baking Powder - 1 tablespoon
Whole egg - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the milk syrup. In a saucepan, add sugar and pour in the milk (40 ml). Place it over medium heat and stir with a spatula until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the butter or margarine, and stir until dissolved. Let the mixture cool.

Step 3

Mix the flour with the baking powder.

Step 4

Add the egg, salt, and vanilla to the cooled milk mixture and mix well.

Step 5

Add half of the flour to the milk mixture and stir. Then add the remaining flour and mix again with a spatula to avoid lumps. The result should be a thick, soft, and pliable dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gather it into a ball with your hands.

Step 7

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.

Step 8

Take the dough out and roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of 7–8 mm.

Step 9

Use a round cutter to cut out the dough rounds (it's best to dust the cutter with flour as the dough is quite sticky) and carefully transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using a spatula.
