I add another version of lean shortbread cookies, which are cooked once or twice. Just like for classic shortbread cookies, the lean contains a few ingredients: flour, butter and sugar, only vegetable oil is not butter.

Use any vegetable oil to your taste, for example, regular odorless sunflower oil or some more interesting oil, such as nut oil. The top of the biscuits can be sprinkled with sugar or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon if desired, or left smooth.

For lean version shortbread cookies, prepare the ingredients according to the list.

Stir in flour, starch (corn or potato), sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Pour in water and vegetable oil.

Stir. Flour has different properties, so the amount may vary. If the dough is in the form of too loose crumb, which does not collect in a ball, then add a little water. The dough should be soft and roll out well.

For a sprinkling option, stir in the sugar and cinnamon.

Roll out the dough to the desired thickness - from 0.5 to 1 cm, depending on which cookie you want to get in the end. Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar on top. Cut the dough into pieces with a knife or cookie cutters.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180-200 degrees for about 15 minutes for a softer version, and about 20 minutes for a crisper one.

What can replace tea with cookies? Nothing! It is winter outside, but at heart there is Christmas fast, so tea will be with lean cookies. It includes a very unusual for sweet pastries ingredient - tomato juice , but in the finished product the taste of tomato is not felt, it gives the liver a beautiful orange color, which pleases the eye and cheers up. Here's the simplest formula homemade cookies and detailed step by step photo recipe... I will tell you how you can diversify these pastries and show simple ways decorating your favorite dessert. And also waiting for you new year surprise- be sure to read the recipe to the end.

You will need:

(glass volume 200 ml)

• sugar 1 cup
• 1/3 cup unscented sunflower oil
• flour 3 cups
• icing sugar for decoration

Tomato juice can be replaced with any other juice, soda, coconut, almond or soy milk, coffee, kvass, beer and even cucumber pickle... You can also use any fruit puree - a great opportunity for young mothers to use the leftovers baby food... The main thing is that the liquid does not contain animal products, only in this case the cookies will be lean.
You can add cocoa, cinnamon, cardamom, chopped nuts, seeds, candied fruits or dried fruits to the dough.

Step-by-step photo recipe for making lean cookies:

In a bowl, combine the tomato juice, sugar, and vegetable oil until the sugar dissolves. This can be done with a regular spoon. I mixed with a blender in just half a minute. If the juice was in the fridge, heat it up so the sugar will dissolve faster.

Gradually add flour- first 1 glass, stir until homogeneous mass, you can use a blender.

Add soda, quenched with vinegar and another 1, 5 glasses of flour. Leave some of the flour on the table for kneading. Now knead the dough with a spoon or spatula.

Put the mixture on the surface and, adding flour, knead the smooth dough.

Divide the dough into three parts, shape into balls, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight. I added in one part raisin(1/3 cup), which must be sorted out beforehand in order to clear out debris, wash and dry with a napkin. If you decide to add raisins to the entire dough, then you can do this earlier, when kneading in a bowl.

Take one ball of dough out of the refrigerator, roll it out 0.5 cm thick and cut out the cookies using any dough cutters.

Now on sale there are all kinds of shapes and cuttings for cookies, but the easiest way, which I usually use myself, is to cut it with a glass or a glass. For a change, you can use glasses of different diameters. You can also cut the rolled dough into diamonds using a regular knife.

Advice:if you don't have a rolling pin to roll out the dough, you can use a glass bottle.

The cookies can be dipped in granulated sugar before baking - the easiest way to decorate. Another option is to add cinnamon to the sugar. To make the sugar stick better to the surface of the cookie, brush it with water or oil.

I rolled out the dough remaining after cutting, sprinkled with the remaining sugar and cinnamon, rolled it into a roll and cut it into small snail cookies, no more than 2-3 cm in diameter. Resemble buns

Advice: it cookies like , looks very nice in assorted form, so cut it in different shapes and sizes.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper... Can be used silicone mat is a very handy thing. But you can put cookies directly on a baking sheet that must be greased with vegetable oil.

Bake cookies in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for 12-20 minutes.

Attention! Times are approximate, depending on your oven and the size of the biscuits (bake larger, smaller smaller). Be guided by outward appearance products. Don't be afraid to open the oven and taste the softness of the cookies. It is important not to overdry the baked goods.

Cool the finished cookies.

Cooled cookies can be sprinkle with icing sugar is the easiest and most popular way to decorate baked goods. Powder has an amazing property of hiding all imperfections and makes the product very appetizing, so do not neglect it. Sprinkle the icing sugar through a sieve so that the icing sugar spreads evenly.

You can decorate the cookies with icing. If you baked according to my recipe, then you probably appreciated Lemon glaze , which is very easy to prepare, has a pleasant sour taste and complements sweet pastries well.

How to make cookie frosting

Squeeze out lemon juice (1.5 - 2 tablespoons) and be sure to sift icing sugar(2/3 cup)- Wipe through a strainer so that there are no lumps. Gradually add the juice to the powder, stir until a homogeneous thick mass. If the icing turns out to be very thin, add powdered sugar to it, if it is thick, add juice or water. Grease biscuits or paint - give icing dry well.

A great way is decoration with chocolate and nuts... Melt the chocolate in microwave oven: break 50 grams of chocolate into pieces, place in a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 minute at half power your oven. Stir the chocolate and cover the cookies with it, sprinkle with the nuts, and let the chocolate dry well.

It is better to dry the cookies with icing on the wire rack. You can use a rack from an oven or microwave.

This is what a cookie with raisins looks like, cut out in a glass with a diameter of 6 cm.It will be quite passable for gingerbread)

And these are tiny cookies! Remember to keep them in the oven less than large cookies.
