Delicious homemade cookies "Hedgehogs"

Greetings, friends!

Today I want to share with you a recipe for simple but very tasty homemade cookies. I tried this recipe for the first time a few months ago, everyone really liked it, so sometimes I bake such cookies.

Ingredients:

• flour - 700 gr.
• sugar - 160 gr.
• eggs - 4 pcs.
• oil - 200 ml.
• powdered sugar - 50 gr.
• baking powder - 20 gr.
• vanillin or vanilla sugar
• salt

First we make the dough.
It is necessary to mix eggs with sugar, and add a pinch of salt, vanilla or vanilla sugar, as well as baking powder to the sifted flour.

If you do not have store-bought baking powder, it is very simple to replace it - you need to mix citric acid and regular baking soda in a ratio of 2:1. For example, half a teaspoon of soda for 1 teaspoon of citric acid is enough for this portion of cookies.

Next, add eggs and sugar to the flour, and immediately pour in the oil. All this is thoroughly mixed to a homogeneous mass, from which we will form cookies.

At this stage, you can add cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon zest to the dough. Lemon zest will make your cookies fragrant and unusual. I baked with the peel twice, everyone liked it very much). Also, you can add cocoa to this dough, or part of it, as an option for chocolate lovers, but according to my taste, it is more interesting with the peel.

When the dough is ready, you can form cookies.
To do this, I divide the dough into parts so that it is convenient to work with it. I take part of the dough, roll it into a sausage, which I then cut into approximately equal parts. Next, I also roll each part in my hands into a sausage and make it flat with the help of a rolling pin. Next, I make cuts on this strip and roll it with a rolling pin. Thanks to this, the cookies turn out to be of an unusual shape and bake well.

I put the cookies on a baking sheet with parchment. I bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 15-17 minutes. I have a convection oven, so this time is enough. When the cookies are still hot, dust them with powdered sugar.

It turns out such a delicacy with tea or coffee.

Thank you! I hope you find this simple and affordable recipe useful!
