Classic cookies from Hercules
Simple homemade oatmeal cookies can be prepared using the following recipe:
pack of butter; sugar – 150 g; egg – 2 units; baking powder – 2 tsp; oat flakes “Hercules” – 1 1/2 tbsp.; flour – 170 g.
Step-by-step description of making cookies:
Grind soft butter with sugar using a whisk.
Beat the eggs into the lightened mixture, add the oatmeal and beat well. Sift flour with baking powder and knead the dough. Let it soak well in the refrigerator for an hour. To prevent the dough from winding, cover the bowl with film. Wet your fingers with water, tear off small pieces of dough and form them into small cakes. Place them on a prepared baking sheet, greased with oil. Bake cookies at 180? C for a third of an hour. On a note.

If it is preheated at room temperature, the cookies will be tender and moderately soft, and if you use ghee, the finished cookies will harden as soon as they cool.
Cottage cheese cookies Goose feet
Crow's feet are very similar to triangles in terms of cooking technique. But they differ slightly in ingredients and taste, respectively.
And decorated with cuts in the shape of cute goose feet.
Ingredients
- 500 g cottage cheese
- 250 g butter
- 350 gr flour
- 10 g vanilla sugar
- 1 piece egg
- 10 g baking powder
- zest from half a lemon
- 1/3 tsp. salt
- 1/3 tsp. cinnamon
- 200 g sugar
Preparation
Place cottage cheese in a bowl. If the cottage cheese is very grainy, first rub it through a sieve.
Add vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon to taste. Beat one egg in there.
For more flavor, grate the zest from half a lemon.
Grind everything with a blender until smooth.
When the curd mass is ready, set it aside.
Sift flour with baking powder into a separate bowl. Place the butter in the freezer for a few minutes ahead of time until it becomes hard and easy to grate.
Rub this block of butter on a coarse grater directly into the flour.
Mix butter and flour. You should get floury, heterogeneous crumbs. We combine it with the curd mass and knead the dough.
We try to knead the dough quickly so that the butter does not melt.
The kneaded dough should not stick to clean hands. We place it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to brew.
After this time, the dough needs to be taken out. Pinch off a fragment from it and form a bun.
Roll out the bun into a thin cake. Using a mold or glass, squeeze out circles. These are our future cookies.
Pour sugar into a plate. Take a circle of dough and roll one side of it in sugar.
Then fold the circle in half so that the sugar is inside. Dip one side of the semicircle into sugar again.
Fold the semicircle in half again so that the sugar is inside. And now we’ll dip one side of this small triangle into sugar again.
Place the triangle on a baking sheet with the sugar side up and, to give it the appearance of a goose foot, make two small cuts.
This must be done with all the blanks.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet in the oven at 190 degrees for about 20 minutes.
But since everyone's oven is different, the time may vary.
The cookies should rise slightly and brown nicely. This is the kind of yummy you should get!

Cookies made from muesli and cottage cheese.
I saw this recipe for granola cookies on Polina’s Facebook feed. The craving for simple recipes, affordable ingredients and expected results pushed me to make these cookies. As it turns out, in reality, everything is really simple. Let's try to repeat this together!
To make granola cookies, we will need:
- Baked muesli - 250 g (can be used with fillings, I bought one with nuts)
- Flour - 250 g (highest grade)
- Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
- Brown sugar - 100 g (you can also use regular white sugar)
- Sesame - 2 tbsp. spoons
- Egg - 2 pcs. (only yolks are needed)
- Butter - 100 g
- Sour cream - 90 g (25-30% fat, you can use less fatty yogurt - 180 g)
- Baking paper
How to make granola cookies
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar and baking powder.
- Fry the sesame seeds in a thin-bottomed frying pan, stirring constantly until slightly golden brown.
- Let's melt the butter. Separately mix the yolks, butter and sour cream (or yogurt).
- It's time to mix all the prepared ingredients, then add muesli, sesame seeds and mix thoroughly to form a homogeneous mass - the finished dough for our muesli cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare the baking sheets by lining them with baking paper. The paper does not need to be lubricated with oil, because... The cookies are quite buttery. Form balls of the same size (about 1 tablespoon of dough) and place them on a baking sheet at the same distance. I make balls with my hands - it’s more convenient and easier. Flatten the cookies a little on top, giving them the appropriate shape. Place in the oven for 25 minutes.
And now our granola cookies are ready.
As you can see, nothing complicated. A little perseverance and patience and we will be rewarded with the wonderful taste of this wonderful cookie.
