There are recipes that are not afraid of time - they are passed on "by inheritance". This classic, even acquiring new interpretations, remains relevant. Cookies on cucumber pickle - just such an "imperishable". We ourselves remember this taste “from the cradle”, and our children are happy to eat dessert on both cheeks. You will be surprised how different "pickle cookies" can be.

Easy to cook

Our mothers and grandmothers lived in an era of scarcity and perestroika, when there was nothing to excel in the kitchen, and nothing to spend on. And you want to pamper the kids at any time. This is where the spicy fragrant brine from home canned food came in handy. But even today, when shelves with “confectionery” in stores are bursting with pastries for every taste, simple homemade cookies do not lose ground.

Cooking cookies in brine is easy - even a novice hostess can handle it. But even here there are a number of points that need to be taken into account. Here are five tips for successful baking.

1. Pickle. You can use cucumber, tomato, cabbage, zucchini, assorted - any version of the vegetable pickle that you have or what you like better. The main thing is that it should not be sour or too salty. Don't forget to strain it before use.
2. Sugar . Its quantity must be adjusted to your own tastes. If you are not a sweet tooth, reduce the sugar content by half. And you can not add at all if you want to “crunch” with a spicy snack.
3. Consistency. The dough for cookies can be kneaded steep, or you can make it more liquid. In the first case, you will roll it out and give it the desired shape, and the cookies will turn out to be drier and crispier. And in the second - put “slides” on a baking sheet with a spoon and then the cookies will have an arbitrary “homemade” look, but also a more delicate texture.
4. Additives. Here you can fantasize unlimitedly and get a new interesting result every time. Sweet cookie options will perfectly complement chopped dried fruits and nuts, candied fruits, jam, berries, jam, marmalade, even small dragee candies - in general, whatever your heart desires. In unsweetened cookies: favorite spices and herbs, seeds, cheese, olives, pieces of mushrooms.
5. Baking time. In the oven, the cookies “sit” in the brine for about a quarter of an hour. It all depends on the characteristics of a particular oven. The main thing is not to overdo it - instead of cookies, you get crackers. As soon as the pastry is "golden" - get it.

If you are, for example, in a country house where there is no oven, it does not matter. So, in a frying pan and in a slow cooker (slightly grease the bottom with vegetable oil), fry each side until golden brown. In the microwave - cover the plate with parchment and bake for about five minutes (it all depends on the power of the device). Watch - the cookies are ready when browned. You can also use small silicone cupcake molds.

Reviews: “And I bake a lean cake”

I baked it twice, for the first time I made the dough soft, the cookies were blurry, they were delicious, but not very beautiful. But today I made a tight dough and it turned out to be an excellent appearance, and just as tasty. I made it with sweet tomato brine. And when the cookies have cooled, the powdered sugar made them irresistible!

We used to cook this when we were kids and it was delicious. Only twisted in a meat grinder, a ribbon was obtained, it was cut into pieces. Or you twist a little dough out of the meat grinder, for one cookie, and put it on a baking sheet. It turned out a cookie similar to a chrysanthemum flower.

And I bake a lean cake according to this recipe. I take a tomato brine, and even better from a tomato canned with cinnamon and mint. I roll out the dough in a layer, make several layers, while adding different fillers to each - raisins, nuts, poppy seeds. and to keep the layers, I coat each with apple jam. My family loves it.

Great recipe, very easy. The cookie is magnificent. I wanted to give free rein to my imagination and add potatoes to the cucumber pickle))) that is, dry mashed potatoes instead of a certain amount of flour. Topped with sea salt and herbes de Provence. It turned out very spicy!

TatyanaRomanovets, http://allrecipes.ru/recept/13889/otzyvy-kommentarii.aspx

From tomato brine, just, for my taste, the most delicious cookies turn out, cabbage is definitely not good, the smell is too specific, and it’s probably better to make salty with caraway seeds from cucumber. And the tomato is sweetish and the smell is mostly not as sharp as that of the cabbage.
