Vanilla Finger Cookies

This recipe was automatically translated from Romanian. View original here

It is a very good recipe for cookies that are made with the help of a mincer or other shapes. It is very important that these cookies keep their shape, they do not swell too much when baked. They are very good, crunchy, with a light buttery flavor - I usually make them for Christmas or Easter, but also when I want to caress my little girl with some homemade sweets. These cookies are among her favorite sweets.

If you don't have a cookie press with your mincer (but I'd recommend you get one - if you haven't yet - one of those with cookie, sausage and pasta accessories) you can simply cut them with a knife or make them with other forms for biscuits.

Ingredients

Metric US

●

Butter

200 g

●

Sugar

1 cup

●

Egg yolks

3 pieces

you use the egg whites in other recipes, here you only need raw yolks

●

Sour cream

70 g

●

White flour

3 cups

●

Baking powder

0.5 tsp

●

Vanilla Extract

1 tbsp

Step by step

Step 1

Put the butter in a saucepan and melt it over low heat.

Step 2

In a bowl put the egg yolks and sugar, mix well with a whisk or spoon.

Step 3

Then add the melted butter and a little cooled, mix well.

Step 4

Next comes the sour cream, stirring alike.

Step 5

Add vanilla or vanilla sugar, stir.

Step 6

Add flour and baking powder and start kneading the dough.

Step 7

Here is a picture of the dough in "becoming" :) You should know that it is a pleasant, soft and non-sticky dough.

Step 8

Knead the dough a little on the table with a little flour.

Step 9

Cover with foil and leave in the fridge for about 30 minutes - or do it in the evening and leave until you have time to make it on the 2nd day.

Step 10

Next I will show how to make biscuits with the accessory for the mincer. If you don't have it, make it simpler, roll out a 7-8 mm thick dough cake (the dough is a bit hard after the fridge, so in this case it would be better to keep it less cold), and cut with some shapes. (flowers, stars, etc.).

So for the mincer - cut the dough into small and long pieces to fit in the machine.

Step 11

This is what the biscuit accessory mounted in the mincer looks like.

Step 12

Start the machine, put a piece of dough, press with one hand and hold the biscuits that are formed with the other. Continue like this until you make all the dough.

Step 13

Here I made some longer slices which I then cut. The dough is non-sticky and fits very well when molded.

Step 14

I cut them into smaller biscuits and put them on an oven tray lined with baking paper.

Place the tray in the oven at an average temperature of 180-200 degrees.

Step 15

Leave them in the oven until they start to brown underneath, do not let them redden too much. It should be just light pink - take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 16

It is kept even for 2 weeks in a dry place, in a bag or jar.

I searched for a long time for such a recipe for vanilla biscuits and I also found it in my native village, at a neighbor's - so the ideal and perfect recipes can be found anywhere you want. I said to put it on the site at least so as not to lose the sheet I wrote, and maybe if someone has this accessory for cookies to use it.

The cookies look great and taste great.

Good appetite!
