Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or margarine)
- Almost 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- Approximately 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, one generous tablespoon of butter, and almost a full cup of sugar.
- Add the tablespoon of baking powder and the 1/2 cup of milk. Mix well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until the dough reaches the right consistency. You will need about 4 cups.
- Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands.
- Shape into small cookie rounds and place them on a baking sheet greased with butter and lightly dusted with flour.
- Leave space between the cookies, as they will expand while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Tips:
When I mention “almost a cup of sugar,” I’m referring to filling the measuring cup just below the brim, leaving only a tiny space at the top. The goal is to have plenty of sweetness without overdoing it. This gives the cookies the perfect flavor.
Another essential tip is to leave about an inch of space between the cookies on the baking sheet, since they rise significantly during baking. This ensures your cookies are perfectly shaped and irresistible.
Prep Time and Yield:
The baking time is quick, taking about 30 minutes. This recipe yields approximately 30 cookies, perfect to enjoy throughout the week.
