Ingredients for Butter cookie Arabic

Step by step instruction of cooking Butter cookie Arabic

Шаг 1

Whisk a quarter Cup of softened butter with a glass of sugar, add a Cup of cream, 1 egg and vanilla. Whisk again, so all the ingredients are mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, salt and baking powder. I departed from the recipe and instead of vanilla added mahlab (mahleb, mahlepi - special seeds of wild cherry, which are ground into powder. The fragrance combines notes of cherries and almonds).

Шаг 2

Parts add the flour to the butter mixture, gently stirring with a wooden spoon. In the recipe listed 2 cups of flour, but I sometimes take more (depending on flour).

Шаг 3

The dough was very soft and tender. The main thing is not to hurry and not to mix too much flour, otherwise the cookies will be too dense.

Шаг 4

Now create our cookies. Traditionally it is done in the form of small balls with pointy ends, like rounded diamonds. For variety, I also just make balls. We spread our little cookies on the baking tray lined with oiled parchment paper on a small distance from each other.

Шаг 5

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees and put the cookies for 15 minutes.
The cookies cooled. In the photo - half portion.

Traditionally, the cookie collapses in powdered sugar and generously sprinkled with cinnamon. But also decorate it in other ways (according to your taste): chocolate (milk, white), nuts, sesame, coconut, etc. Decorate the cookies according to your taste.

Шаг 7

Stored in a tightly closed box in the refrigerator to eat but cookies are better at room temperature.

Шаг 8

Our fun-filled cookie is very soft and creamy, and decorate it - a pleasure!
