Step-by-step cooking recipe
Mix spices and soda. If necessary, rub them in a mortar to a powdery state.
Add the sifted flour and salt.
In a separate container, rub the soft butter with egg and sugar.
Mix the dry billet with the egg-oil mixture and knead the dough.
Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 1.5-2 hours.
Divide the dough into three parts. Leave one for work, hide the rest in the refrigerator again.
Roll out a thin layer of dough on a sheet of parchment paper.
Cut out cookies with cuttings, remove excess dough.
Transfer the sheet to a baking sheet and send it to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Do the same with the rest of the test.
When the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate it with icing or colored glaze.
