Sand Cookies with Margarine "Buttons"
Instructions
Whisk fresh egg yolks (2 pcs.) thoroughly with the granulated sugar. Add the vanilla sugar or vanillin to them as well.
Add soft margarine or butter to the yolk base and bring the mixture to a state close to homogeneous. A traditional kitchen whisk will help with this.
Add the sifted wheat flour to the mixture in small portions. Swap the whisk for a tablespoon, as it is more convenient for mixing the dough at the initial stage.
When the dough becomes denser and firmer, divide it into two equal parts and colour each one a separate colour. To do this, drip a few drops of colouring onto the shortcrust mass and knead it thoroughly.
Roll out the dough (or a small portion) of one colour into a layer 5 mm thick. Using an ordinary shot glass, cut out circles.
With a bottle cap or another suitable little object, make a smaller circle in the centre of each piece.
With a plastic cocktail straw, quickly make 4 holes in each "button".
Form the shortcrust cookies of the other colour in the same way. Place all the pieces on a baking tray for the oven.
Bake the colourful margarine shortcrust cookies "Buttons" for at least 18 minutes at 180 C.
Take the ready crunchy treat out of the oven and remove it from the baking tray, so that it does not lose its shine or dry out too much.
Such a simple and versatile recipe for margarine shortcrust cookies will help you create a real colourful treat at home at any convenient moment.
