If you have never eaten such cookies, then the addition of brine to the composition will definitely seem strange to you. But you only have to try ready-made products once to understand that it is really tasty and not much different from the traditional version.

These cookies are prepared in the same way as regular cookies. Of the differences - only one ingredient. By the way, you can bake using absolutely any brine. This could be a marinade made from cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, corn, or beans.

General principles of preparation

In today's recipes, everything is very simple. We will need to mix all the ingredients well to get a homogeneous dough. In some recipes it will need to rest a little so that all its components “combine” well, while in others it can be cooked immediately.

The dough is rolled out to the desired thickness and cut into shapes of the desired size. If you have shapes, you can cut them out, and if not, you can simply make cubes, sticks or circles using the most common household items.

Soda can be extinguished not only with vinegar, but also with lemon juice or lime juice. If there is no soda, you can use baking powder or a teaspoon of lemon juice.
