About 150 years ago, cookies were a luxury for a large number of people. They were baked mainly only in author’s confectionery shops to order for the nobility and high nobility. Peasants could only be satisfied with small pies with berries, which slightly resembled cookies.
Nowadays, the choice of cookies has expanded due to globalization and modernization
.
Huge companies are constantly baking more than a million cookies a day. Therefore, it is difficult for author’s cookies to compete with the monopolists in the market.
However, once you try homemade cookies – you will not want another. We suggest making cookies yourself, using simple ingredients.

Pour sugar, salt and leavening agent into the margarine crumbs
.
Add egg and kefir to the mixture, knead a soft and not sticky dough.
Take the dough to the refrigerator for 20 minutes. At this time you need to prepare the filling. First roast nuts in a frying pan for 3-4 minutes.
Chop the roasted nuts to a fine crumb and combine with sugar and protein. Divide the dough into two parts, one of which is kept in the fridge
. Roll out the other part of the dough into an 8 mm thick layer and spread with ½ of the nut filling. Roll the dough into a roll, brush with egg yolk if desired and divide into small portions.
The same procedure should be carried out with the second part of the dough and the nut filling. Bake the cookies in the oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour.
For this recipe, you can use both walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts and cashews. We recommend adding cinnamon and vanillin to the filling to taste.
