How to make cookies with wishes for the new year. About cookies and wishes

We so often surprise our loved ones with taste and appearance baking or any other dishes that we just forget that you can make a kind of game out of it. So, with the help of cookies, you can confess your feelings or predict fate, as they do in China. But why, if the Chinese do it, can't we do the same? Firstly, the method of making such cookies seems by no means original, and secondly, the process of inventing various phrases that you will put inside the cookies is quite creative. As for the taste of cookies, it is very original, and resembles koala cookies or a slightly flattened biscuit. Although here, most likely, I am judging the recipe for cookies, because it resembles a cooking method, on chicken eggs. So let's get started.

Ingredients:

• chicken proteins- 2 pieces;
• wheat flour - 60 grams;
• powdered sugar - 50 grams;
• vegetable oil- 3 tablespoons;
• salt - a pinch;
• dye - optional.

• total cooking time: 20 minutes;
• total number of cookies: 12 pieces.

How to make fortune cookies:

1. First you need to prepare the filling for our cookies. You can find templates for wishes and predictions on the Internet, or you can write something from the bottom of your heart. For the master class, I chose wishes taken from the network. After, as soon as you print or write the text, you should cut it into thin strips that will definitely fit into our future cookies.

2. Beat the chicken proteins in a completely dry and clean bowl. It is advisable to add salt to them so that the process goes faster and more actively. As soon as you get a stable, but slightly loose mass, add powdered sugar. The mass will become more tender and homogeneous, almost perfect white color. Using a kitchen spatula or spoon, put it in a bowl.

3. Using a sieve, add wheat flour to the proteins. Mix everything with a spoon, from bottom to top and from right to left. We do not use a mixer at this stage when preparing this type of dough. After flour, vegetable oil is sent to the dough and everything is mixed again.

4. The dough is ready!

5. Usually, when preparing these cookies, they use parchment paper. Someone uses a silicone mat, but for some reason I did not experiment with it. Yes, and drawing circles of the same size on paper is much easier. The dough should be smeared on parchment and sent to the oven. Bake the cookies for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are golden. The recommended heating temperature is 200 degrees.

6. Ready cookies must be removed from the oven one by one, otherwise they will harden very quickly and become unyielding. As soon as you have taken it out, put your prediction or wish in the center.

Please note that I am wearing gloves. Postpone hot temperature cookies, just taken out of a red-hot oven, I am not yet able to. You can do the same.

7. As soon as the filling is inside, we squeeze the edges of the cookies together and make “dumplings” out of it.

8. Dumplings should be pressed against the edge of the glass as shown in the photo. To explain in words this action will not be so easy.

9. The finished cookie should be folded into a narrow container so that it takes shape. If you don't fix the wish cookie, it will turn back into the dumplings from step 7.

10. Dry the cookies for a couple of minutes in the air and it will be easy to break, but meanwhile, it will remain as tender and tasty as it was intended in the original version.

Bon appetit and good evening!!!

Sincerely, Julia.

For loved ones on Valentine's Day on February 14 or just like that - beautiful, bright and very delicious cookies in the shape of hearts!

• 1 st. flour (about 130 g);
• 100 g butter(i.e. half a pack);
• 1 tbsp Sahara.

Decoration:

• 50 g chocolate (half a bar);
• 1-2 tbsp butter;
• Nuts;
• Confectionery topping.

Cooking shortbread dough: Sift flour into a bowl, add sugar and softened butter, cut into pieces.

Grind the ingredients with your hands. First you will get a crumb. Continue kneading the dough, and the crumbs stick together into one lump. If the dough crumbles, add a little soft butter. If, on the contrary, it sticks to your hands, add a little flour. Ready dough soft, does not crumble, but does not stick. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. In the meantime, you can click and peel the nuts for decoration. It will be delicious with any: walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or cashew.

After taking the dough out of the refrigerator, lightly sprinkle the table and baking sheet with flour. Roll out the dough into a cake from 0.5 to 1 cm thick. Thin cookies bake faster and are crispier, while thicker cookies take a little longer to bake but are more crumbly.

We cut out cookies from the dough with a heart-shaped mold and carefully, since the cookies are very tender, we transfer them to a baking sheet. While you are making cookies, turn on the oven - let it warm up to 200C.

At this point, you can sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon or vanilla sugar if you don't want to. chocolate icing. You need to mix in a saucer 1.5-2 tbsp. sugar and ¼ tsp. cinnamon (or 1 tsp. vanilla sugar), or sugar with chopped nuts, sprinkle each cookie and lightly press the sprinkle with your finger so that it does not sprinkle. If you glaze cookies with chocolate, we bake just like that.

We bake cookies at 200-210C for 20-25 minutes, taking into account the characteristics of your oven. The cookies should be dry, crumbly and slightly golden, but still light in color. If the cookies are brown, it means that they are a little overexposed. But that's okay, now we will prepare the icing and sprinkles for decoration!

Break the chocolate into pieces and place on water bath. When melted, put a piece of soft butter (15-25g) and mix. The butter will melt and you will have a smooth chocolate icing. Dip the cooled cookies into it with the top side - or apply the icing with a teaspoon.

If the icing is too thick, add a little more butter to the chocolate; if liquid - can be brought to desired consistency by adding cocoa powder.

Before the icing has had time to harden, sprinkle the Hearts cookies for Valentine's Day with chopped nuts, colored confectionery sprinkles. To make the icing harden faster, put the cookies in the refrigerator. And when the decoration "grabs", carefully transfer the heart cookies to the dish.

Recipe 2: sand hearts with jam for February 14

The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it for delicious treat, and for a nice gift for February 14 - because it has the shape of a heart, and if you pick up a beautiful package or a festive box and put our sweet valentines in it - there will be a wonderful holiday surprise for all the sweet tooth!

• 150 g butter (margarine)
• 100 g of powdered sugar (sugar)
• 2 yolks
• zest of half a lemon (orange)
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar (vanillin on the tip of a knife)
• a pinch of salt (1/3 tsp)
• thick jam (jam)
• powdered sugar (for sprinkling finished cookies)

Put softened butter (or margarine) into a bowl. Add sugar (or powdered sugar) with vanilla, and rub everything thoroughly.

Grate the zest of half a lemon fine grater.

Add the yolks and mix everything thoroughly. In two doses add 250 gr. flour, and the remaining 20 gr. pour on the table under the dough. Knead soft plastic dough, try not to add more flour - to avoid excessive rigidity.

The photo shows how soft and plastic dough we got. Great! Now wrap it in cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Let's roll out the dough like this interesting method between two sheets of parchment paper. Since the dough is very tender, and we don’t need extra flour at all. Roll out the dough with a thickness of 4-5 mm. This is the thickness that will allow the cookies to remain soft and not too thick.

Remove the top parchment. We take a mold in the form of a large heart and right on the sheet we begin to form our sweet valentines. The dough that remains - we will put it into action again: we will collect it in a lump, roll it out and make a few more hearts.

Now take a smaller heart shape and cut out these things. At the same time, we also form a bunch of small hearts.

Put the dough in hot oven 180 degrees. For 7-10 minutes, but you watch for readiness - the cookies should remain soft, not overdried, light.

Sprinkle our hearts with a recess with powdered sugar.

We put a spoon on whole large heart-cookies thick jam- in the middle. From above we glue the top sprinkled with powder. It turns out a two-layer valentine with a beautiful colored center and snow-white sprinkling. If you take jam different colors, then it will be even more beautiful dish. Although I think it all looks quite charming and appetizing!

For glaze:

• chicken protein - 1 pc.;
• powdered sugar - 150 gr.;
• citric acid - 1/5 tsp;

To begin with, we prepare all the necessary products.

Add sugar to the yolk and mix well with a whisk. Sugar should be completely dissolved in the yolk.

Then add slightly warmed honey and pour vanillin. We mix.

Also add butter room temperature. Mix everything well until smooth.

Now add baking powder and sifted wheat flour.

Knead soft, elastic, tender dough. If there is not enough flour, you can add a little more, the cookie dough should not be liquid.

We roll it into a ball, wrap it in cling film or just put a bag and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Valentine cookies for Valentine's Day should be bright, colorful, beautiful. Glaze will help us decorate pastries the way we want it. To prepare it, we take 150 grams of powdered sugar and egg white.

Mix them and beat with a mixer. It will take 6-8 minutes to beat.

At the end of whipping, for about one minute, add citric acid at the tip of a knife. The result should be a smooth, glossy mass.

We divide the glaze into two unequal parts. You can divide it into equal parts, it all depends on how you will decorate your cookies.

IN most glaze, add a dye (in my case, raspberry), you can take any other at your discretion.

Mix the icing well with the coloring. The icing is ready, we remove it for now to the side, just be sure to cover cling film. The frosting dries very, very quickly.

In the meantime, the dough has cooled, take it out of the refrigerator. For ease of rolling, we divide it into several parts. Then we roll each part into a layer 0.5 cm thick.

Now we cut out cookies with special molds in the form of hearts.

Place the cards on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. And we send it to bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Our cake is ready. We take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Recipe 4: heart cookies in a waffle iron (with photo)

• Premium wheat flour 250 gr.
• Chicken eggs 6 pcs.
• Margarine for baking 125 gr.
• Sugar 125 gr.
• Vanillin 1 sachet
• Milk (3.5%) 250 ml.
• Baking powder for dough to taste

Cookies can be cooked both soft and crispy, it all depends on how long you bake them in a waffle iron. But before you start cooking them, you need to knead the dough. In its consistency, it should resemble liquid sour cream.

So, we separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a shallow bowl, rub randomly cut margarine with sugar and vanilla with a fork, then take a mixer and beat the mass into lush foam. Then, without ceasing to beat, add one yolk to the bowl.

Then pour in the milk, beating with a mixer at low speed.

In another bowl, mix flour with baking powder, and begin to gradually pour into the butter-milk mixture, continuing to beat. AND finishing touch: beat the whites into foam and gently introduce into the dough, then let it brew within half an hour in a warm place.

We connect the waffle iron to the network and heat it to medium temperature. Then put about two tablespoons of dough into it and evenly distribute it over the surface. Close and hold for about 40-60 seconds. So we get soft cookies.

Then carefully take out ready-made cookies with a fork or spatula and let cool.

Recipe 5: gas-shaped heart-shaped cookies

• margarine for baking - 100 gr;
• vanilla sugar- a sachet;
• granulated sugar - 1 cup;
• salt - a pinch;
• baking soda - 1 incomplete teaspoon;
• wheat flour - 8-9 tbsp. spoons

We take the dishes in which we will knead the dough, break 4-5 pieces of eggs.

Add a bag of vanilla sugar, as little as possible.

Melt a pack of margarine in microwave oven or on the stove, I had an incomplete pack of margarine, so I melted how much it was, also pour it into the eggs.

Then beat everything with a mixer on the first speed. Beat just until smooth, so that everything is mixed and dissolved (sugar, soda).

Now add two tablespoons of flour to the contents, and beat in the same way on the first speed.

Enough about 8-9 tablespoons for the dough, the dough should not turn out to be liquid but also very thick.

It should move away from the spoon slowly (make the dough thicker than on the cakes). Now when the dough is ready, turn on the stove, grease the mold on both sides with vegetable oil, put it on the fire and heat it up.

After the mold has warmed up on both sides, we begin to fry our cookies, pour out an incomplete ladle of dough, about the same amount

and close the mold, leave it literally for 1-2 minutes, turn the mold over and check whether it is baked or not.

If baked, leave the mold upside down so that the other side is also baked.

Recipe 6, step by step: homemade heart cookies

Today I want to offer a simple baking option that will fit perfectly on festive table The 14th of February. We will bake heart cookies, for which we will need special forms.

• eggs - 1 pc.;
• flour - 400-450 g;
• vanillin - 1 sachet;
• colored sugar pencils;
• baking powder - 1.5 tbsp. spoons.

Let's get started. Beat one egg with sugar.

Softened (not melted) butter is mixed with sour cream and added to the egg-sugar mixture. Beat everything together with a whisk (or mixer).

Add flour mixed with baking powder and knead the dough. Add vanillin. The dough should not be too tight, therefore, gradually adding flour, focus on its amount during kneading. Put it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

When the dough has cooled a little, take it out and roll out a layer with a thickness of about 7-8 mm. We cut out our cookies with special shapes in the form of hearts. I used fairly large molds (8 cm wide).

We grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of vegetable oil and put cookies on it. We put it in a preheated oven (180 degrees). Bake until it turns a nice light brown color.

Let the cookies cool down, and put melted chocolate on its surface. You can make chocolate icing by adding a little butter to the chocolate while heating (in a water bath). But, you need to take into account that it will not completely harden on the surface of the cookies.

You can decorate hearts in different ways. Let's say apply chocolate to only one half of it, as in my photo.

You can make inscriptions on the hearts, for example, write names or holiday wishes. In a pinch, just sprinkle them with powdered sugar! I used special colored sugar pencils to decorate cookies.

Place the tray in the oven. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes until they are golden brown.

When the cookies are ready, start shaping them. Do not take all the cookies out of the oven, as they will cool down and then you will not be able to give them the desired shape. Turn off the oven and leave the cookie sheet in it. Wear gloves to avoid burns.

Take one cookie. In order to separate it from the parchment, do not use a spatula, but take the edge of the parchment, press from below and separate the cookies. Place it in the palm of your hand, place a piece of paper with a prediction in the center of the cookie.

Fold the cookies in half.

Then press down with your finger in the middle and connect the corners. A cup will help you with this. Hold the cookie in this position until it takes shape.

Place the cookies in cupcake liners and wait for them to cool, harden and take the desired shape.

Notes

For extra decoration, fortune cookies can be dipped in melted chocolate and then crushed nuts.

Or pour them with melted white and dark chocolate. To do this, melt the chocolate and fill it with a small pastry bag with a thin hole. Then pour over the cookies, moving the chocolate back and forth.
