Ingredients
- wheat flour – 200 g;
- oat flakes – 100 g;
- sour cream 15-20% - 100 g;
- sugar – 80 g;
- eggs – 1 pc;
- vegetable oil – 50 ml;
- cocoa powder – 3 tbsp;
- baking powder – 1 tsp.
Preparation
1. Quick-cooking oat flakes – thin and brittle are added to the dough.
2. One egg is enough for this baking, as an excess of eggs will make the sand dough tougher and deprive it of its usual crumbly texture.
3. Sugar is added. The specified amount will provide the cookies with a moderate level of sweetness – without excess and cloying. Sweet tooths can add another tablespoon.
4. Thick sour cream is poured in.
5. We weigh and add the oat flakes. There is no need to grind them further. The flakes will be visible in the dough and will give the cookies a special taste.
6. The specified amount of wheat flour is poured in.
7. Cocoa powder is scooped without a mound.
8. We add 50 milliliters of vegetable oil.
9. The baking powder should be scooped with a mound.
10. The sand dough does not like to be kneaded for a long time – the quality of the baking suffers. The ingredients are quickly mixed, and the chocolate ball is placed in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
11. The dough is rolled out, with a layer thickness of 5-8 millimeters.
12. Shapes are pressed out. In the absence of molds, a thin coffee cup can be used to make round cookies.
13. The shapes are transferred to parchment paper, then the parchment sheet is picked up from both sides and transferred to a baking sheet.
14. The shapes made from sand dough are placed in a hot oven at 180 degrees. After 20 minutes, the ready crumbly cookies are poured onto a plate.
15. Chocolate sand cookies can be stored in a paper bag or box. They do not like moisture, but in a dry place, they remain crumbly and crispy for a week.
