Biscuits on beer "Assorted

What to do with an unused open bottle of beer? - Of course, use for dough when making cookies!

Cookies according to this recipe are very high-calorie, with a pleasant malt flavor, they are crumbly and literally melt in your mouth!

From additives and toppings, you can choose absolutely anything your heart desires - sweet, salty or savory - and, of course, come up with your own special taste and shape of cookies.

Prepare the ingredients for the dough. The oil must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance so that it softens at room temperature, the beer will also need to be warm. I measured the flour with a glass, the volume of which is 250 ml.

Pour the flour into a suitable bowl, add the oil and grind until large crumbs form. Dry flour should not remain.

Add beer and knead soft dough. It is not necessary to knead for a long time, as soon as the ingredients are combined and begin to gather into a ball, stop kneading. We get a soft buttery dough, which almost does not stick to hands and perfectly holds its shape.

Actually, everything! The dough is ready, it only needs to be cooled before molding, but you can turn on the fantasy right now. I divided the dough into three balls. I left two of them in their original form, later one ball will turn into a sweet cookie, and the second into a salty and savory one. In the third piece of dough, I added a generous portion of paprika (about 1 tsp with a slide). We wrap each ball of dough with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to cool. During this time, the butter will harden, and it will be more convenient to work with the dough. It's time to think about additives and about the form of cookies.

Once the dough has cooled, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 190-205 degrees.

To roll out the dough, you can use a small amount of flour, literally a pinch for each serving of dough. We roll out the dough about 0.4-0.6 cm thick and cut out the desired shapes. From the first ball I made round cookies, which I generously sprinkled with sugar on top.

From the dough with paprika, I rolled out a layer, sprinkled with grated cheese. Cheese needs to be pressed a little by hand to the dough. Then I cut the layer with a corrugated knife into small rectangles.

I rolled out the third piece of dough, generously sprinkled with coarse sea salt, thyme, black pepper and coriander. I cut the cookies into small squares and pricked them with a fork, I got cracker-like cookies.

We spread the blanks on the prepared baking sheet at a small distance from each other. When baking, the dough does not spread, only slightly increases in volume. Bake cookies "Assorted" in a preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until cooked. There is no sugar in the dough, so it will not brown much, it will only change color a little.

Let the finished cookies cool on a wire rack and serve.
