Steps for soak-up cookies with semolina and rice flour

To begin making these soak-up cookies with semolina and rice flour, start by mixing all the liquids. You can use a large bowl and knead by hand or use any kitchen robot. I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (K). Pour the egg and sugar into the stand mixer bowl and mix for a few minutes at medium speed. Then add the oil, milk, grated lemon peel, and vanilla essence, and mix again for a few minutes. Finally, add the two flours, salt, and baking powder, and mix again until the mixture is completely combined. The dough will be homogeneous and soft.
Break off pieces of dough with your hands to form walnut-sized balls, then roll them between your hands to create small logs. Roll them in granulated sugar and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn off the oven, remove the cookies, and let them cool down.
Serve the soak-up cookies. I hope you enjoy my latest recipe, see you next time friends.
