Ingredients
Unsalted butter with more than 72% fat content
180 g
Large cubical eggs
2
Sugar powder
5 tablespoons
Vanillin
1 pack
Walnuts (peanuts, almonds)
to your taste
Method of preparation
1
One hour before cooking, take the butter out of the refrigerator. When the time comes, separate the egg whites from the yolks and mix them with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat the egg whites separately into a thick foam, continuously increasing the mixer speed to the maximum. *Salt will make the foam less bubbly, and the mixture will hold its shape better
2
Add softened butter to the egg mixture and beat it at low speed, then gently, one spoonful at a time, add the beaten egg whites and mix everything together by hand. *If you decide to make nut sand cookies, grind them into medium-sized crumbs: so that there are small pieces but mostly nut powder. This way, the finished cookies will be more crumbly and airy
3
Add sifted “Uladar” flour to the mixture and knead a dense dough. Then take a piece of plastic wrap and wrap the dough: place the roll in the refrigerator for half an hour
4
After the time has passed, sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the cooled mass into a layer about 0.8 centimeters thick. The classic recipe suggests an oval shape for the cookies, but you can cut out any shape – circles, triangles, special shapes in the form of bears, hares, and other interesting formats
5
Now take parchment paper, line a large baking sheet with it, grease it with oil, and place the cookies on the surface. According to the classic recipe, the oven should not be preheated, but we still recommend it. The baking temperature for shortbread cookies is 180-200 degrees Celsius. The baking time is 10-15 minutes. Do not leave the oven unattended and watch as the products turn golden brown

The dish is ready!
