500 g moke
250 g masla ali margarine
150 g sladkorja
2 jajci
žlička pecilnega praška
po želji: vanilin, limonina lupinica
Vse sestavine zgnetemo v homogeno testo, ki ga oblikujemo v hlebček in damo za eno uro počivati v hladilnik. Ohlajeno testo razvaljamo pol centimetra debelo in s piškotnimi modelčki naredimo piškote. Pečemo jih na 200°C približno 10 minut oziroma dokler robovi malce ne porjavijo. Ohladimo jih na rešetki in jih po želji pomočimo v čokolado ali zlepimo skupaj z marmelado.
I bought a new cookie box and of course I had to fill it with cookies. I spent a lot of time at my grandmas as a child. She kept her cookies in a large red plastic box in a cupboard at the dining room. They were basic cookies but they were the best cookies in the world. I asked her to give me her recipe:
500 g flour
250 g butter or shortening
150 g sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
by taste: lemon zest, vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients and make a homogeneous dough, shape it as a ball, wrap it in foil and chill it for an hour. Roll it 1/4 of an inch (0,5 cm) thick and cut the cookies with cookie cutters. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until they edges lightly brown in a preheated oven at 200°C or 400°F. Cool them on a rack and frost them by taste.
