Family cookie recipe

Hey guys! Happy Saturday. Do you already have plans for the weekend? Let me guess - you are exploring new countries, enjoying breathtaking views, swimming in the sea, tasting new food... I know that most of you live your best life right now but you still can save this as an idea for a nice family weekend. The aroma of a fresh baking can make it even better.

Saying family recipe I mean this is one of of those recipe written on paper in a small notebook. I started it when I was a student.

Its pages are worn and yellowed with time. Each recipe in it is a small slice of time. Different ink, different handwriting. Corrections and crossing out. Sometimes mentions the source, names like "from cousin Maria",
"Alex Kozynets" or locations. I lost touch with most of them long ago. Oh, I love these memory pages.

But the trick it that some important nuances acquired with experience in the cooking process remained only in my head. Because (it seems strange and inconvinient nowadays) once the text is written down on the paper you cannot insert anything into it. Don't worry, today I share with you the "merged" version because I made it just yesterday.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 tbs sour cream
30 g fresh yeast (or 10 g dry yeast)
1 cup of sugar (200 ml)
250 g butter or margarine
300 g wheat flour
2 sachet of vanilla sugar 10 g each
poppy seeds
chopped walnuts


You will need a mixer and a kitchen knife with a wide blade. And some skill and confidence. 😁

Separate the whites from the yolks, put the whites in the refrigerator.

Mix yolks, sour cream and yeast into a homogeneous mass using a spatula or spoon.

Mix butter with flour in a separate bowl using the knife, or you may rub the butter on a grater and mix with flour with your hands.

Now add vanilla sugar and liquid ingredients to the bowl with butter and flour.

Knead the dough that will not stick to your hands but will not be too hard. Add flour if needed.

Divide the dough into two parts and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, take out a baking sheet and line it with baking parchment. I have a gas oven, so I turn it on before I start working with the dough.

After half an hour, take out the cooled egg whites and beat with sugar until thick and fluffy.

Generously sprinkle flour on the surface where you will roll out the dough to prevent it from sticking and tearing when you make a roll.

Roll out the first part of the dough in the form of a rectangle. It doesn't have to be perfect. The thickness of the dough should be about 1 cm (no more). Spread half of the egg whites on the dough, the second half return to the fridge. Sprinkle it with nuts and poppy seeds.

Now the hardest part and it must be done quickly. Carefully make a roll so that the whites do not squeeze out. Cut the roll and place the cakes on a baking sheet. This is why you need a wide blade. The roll slices (the cookies) should look like a spiral but don't worry if they don't turn out perfectly. They will become more rounded when baked and look like a rose flower.

Bake your cookies at 180 degrees Celsius. Time depends on your oven. 30 minutes, maybe 40.

Repeat all this with the second piece of the dough and whites.

Omooo, that personal recipe book can be a family heirloom you know. I remember Mom, she has something like that too coz we have a bakery. I think she's still keeping her recipe notebook somewhere. Sad I don't have skills for baking like her 🤧.

Anyways your recipe are all simple and so easy to gather. I love all the ingredients, esp with walnuts. To be honest I haven't tasted a bread or a cookie with walnuts so i'm curious is they are really a perfect blending 🤤🤤✨🤩

Wow, a family bakery! How great!

I don't know if an old notebook can be of any use these days. The obvious advantage of recipes that the one can found everything with the record of the preparation, result, and comments. But as a heirloom - maybe ))) I started to move some of the recipes I use to the cloud, this is how I can easily get an access to them wherever I am, and share them with my daughter or friends. But you know, there is still one big advantage of the paper notebook comparing to a smartphone - it doesn't get blocked and dark, and you don't have to unlock it with your greasy fingers, LOL

No kidding?? I am so surprised, as in my part of the globe walnuts is often use as an ingredient of cookies, biscuits and cakes. Hope you will like it if decide to try 😉😊

Thank you so much for your comment, @ruffatotmeee ❤️

Cheers, and !BEER

I sure will! Safe travels to you. I hope you enjoy your trip home. Mom says hello back! I sent her your blog post. She's enjoying what's left of summer here. I hope to make it back to Ohio in October to see her and celebrate my brother's 50th birthday. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful week.

They are crispy indeed. I like to feel different textures - poppy seeds and walnuts in meringue, and the bread with aroma of vanilla 🥰
