- flour, all-purpose - 200 g;
- sugar - 75 g;
- butter or margarine - 100 g;
- egg yolks - 50 g;
- vanilla sugar;
- food colorings (preferably natural).
Preparation
- Whisk fresh egg yolks (2 pcs.) with granulated sugar thoroughly. Add vanilla sugar or vanillin to it as well.
- Add soft margarine or butter to the yolk mixture and bring it to a state close to homogeneity. A traditional kitchen whisk will help with this.
- Gradually add sifted wheat flour to the mixture in small portions. Replace the whisk with a tablespoon, as it is easier to mix the batch at the initial stage.
- When the dough becomes denser and firmer, divide it into two equal parts and color each in a separate color. For this, drip some food coloring onto the dough and thoroughly mix it.
- Roll out the dough (or a small portion) of one color into a layer 5 mm thick. Using a regular shot glass, cut out circles.
- Use a bottle cap or another suitable object to make a smaller circle in the center of each piece.
- With a plastic cocktail straw, quickly make 4 holes in each "button."
- Similarly, form butter cookies of the other color. Place all the pieces on a baking tray for the oven.
- Bake the colorful butter cookies "Buttons" for at least 18 minutes at 180°C.
- Remove the ready crunchy treat from the oven and take it off the baking tray to avoid losing its shine and becoming overly dry.
- Such a simple and universal recipe for butter cookies will help create a real colorful treat at home at any convenient moment.
