Ingredients
Get ready to create unforgettable breakfast cookies. Here’s what you need:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 7 oz butter (soft)
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanillin
- to taste sugar (cookie coating before baking)
Tools
- Stand Mixer
Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (static) so that it’s ready when the cookies are ready to bake.
Prepare a large bowl or, if you prefer, use a stand mixer to simplify the work. Pour the eggs into the bowl along with the milk and softened butter. Mix thoroughly until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Add the sugar to the dough and continue mixing. This will give your cookie an irresistible sweetness.
Gradually start incorporating the all-purpose flour. This step requires patience; make sure to add the flour gradually and mix well between each addition. This ensures the flour is evenly integrated into the dough.
Add the baking powder and a packet of vanillin to give your cookies an extra touch of aroma. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
At this point, you should have a slightly sticky but easily workable dough. If it’s too sticky, you can add another 1/8 cup of flour to achieve the desired consistency.
Now, divide the dough into small logs of about 2.5 oz each. This is the fun part, as you can shape the cookies as you like. You can make them round, oval, or as you prefer.
Roll each cookie in sugar for a final decoration that will give them a crunchy touch and an inviting look.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them as they will expand during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Once ready, remove the breakfast cookies from the oven and let them cool.
Enjoy your meal!
Storage
