Cookies with sesame seeds, flax seeds, and prunes in the oven
Instructions
Sift 150 g of wheat flour into a deep bowl, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder. The baking powder is important – it makes the cookies crumbly and light; without it the dough turns out dense and heavy. Stir the dry ingredients together with a whisk until evenly combined.
Add the sesame and flax seeds (1 tbsp each).
Finely chop the thoroughly pitted prunes into small pieces.
Pour in the recommended amount of neutral vegetable oil.
Pour boiling water into the bowl.
Quickly mix the dough with a spoon, then gather it into a soft, elastic ball with your hands. The dough should not stick to your hands, but it should not be too dry either – add 1 tbsp of water if needed. It is important to work quickly while the water is still hot – it is the hot water that makes the dough pliable and easy to shape.
Shape the cookies and cover them with a small amount of seeds.
Place the tray on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden-brown and characteristic cracks appear on the surface. The cookies are slightly soft straight from the oven – they become crisper as they cool. Do not leave them in the oven too long, or the cookies will dry out.
Serve the aromatic cookies with sesame, flax, and prunes whenever you like.
