Ingredients

Get ready to create unforgettable breakfast tart cookies. Here’s what you need:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter (soft)
  • 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • 1 packet vanillin
  • as needed sugar (for coating cookies before baking)

Tools

  • Stand Mixer

Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 356°F (static) so it’s ready when the tart cookies are prepared for baking.

    Prepare a large bowl or, if you prefer, you can 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 to mix. This will give your tart cookies an irresistible sweetness.

    Gradually start incorporating the all-purpose flour. This step requires patience; ensure you add the flour gradually and mix well between each addition. This ensures that the flour is evenly integrated into the dough.

    Add the baking powder and one packet of vanillin to give your tart cookies an extra aromatic touch. Mix until all the ingredients are well blended.

    At this point, you should have a slightly sticky yet easily workable dough. If it is too sticky, you can add another 1/8 cup of flour to achieve the desired consistency.

Now, divide the dough into small rolls of about 2 1/2 oz each. This is the fun part because you can shape the cookies as you like. You can make them round, oval, or however you prefer.

Coat each cookie in sugar for a final decoration that will give them a touch of crispiness and an inviting appearance.

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 them for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden.

Once ready, remove the breakfast tart cookies from the oven and let them cool.

Now, you have prepared these delicious cookies that will enchant anyone who tastes them. Rediscover the warmth and joy that only homemade cookies can offer.

Enjoy your meal!

Storage

Store your breakfast tart cookies in a tin box or wrapped in aluminum foil, they will stay fresh for several days.
