Try making heart cookies, their recipe is so simple that even a novice housewife can handle it.

Knead, roll, cut, bake - and on the table! And you can do without an oven - but first things first. Let's start with the usual shortbread cookies.

"Sand" classic

Simple recipe shortcrust pastry and it’s really easier than easy: butter, flour, a little sugar and a little salt. All! By the way, it’s quite possible to do without sugar - and rightly so: why do we need extra calories? Before baking, sprinkle the cookies with grated cheese or salt with caraway seeds - it will turn out great snack for beer. But we are not talking about beer, but about coffee and cocoa with tea. So the topping will be sweet.

Ingredients

Cooking method

Soften the butter slightly and knead thoroughly with sugar (if you want sweet cookies) and salt. Then add flour to it little by little.
Chop the dough with a knife on a board and roll into a “bun”. And - into the refrigerator.
After a couple of hours, roll out and cut out hearts with a mold. Place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or - for real coffee lovers - finely ground coffee. After 10–15 minutes, the hearts will become a pleasant golden color - it’s time to take them out!

By the way, Heart cookies have many recipe options. For example, mayonnaise. 100 g of mayonnaise and butter, egg, sugar (optional), a glass of flour. The cookies will come out so tender that even staunch opponents of “Mayanesis” will not be able to resist!

This recipe is more complicated. But the result is worthy of a festive table! Yes, the caloric content is high. But you won’t “hamster” him with kilograms, will you? And if occasionally, then for the sake of such deliciousness, even ardent fans of diets will break their “food discipline” a little.
