✨ Recipe 🍪 10-Minute Cookies 💯
⏱️ Quick Blender Cookies - Ingredients (All measurements are approximate and can be adjusted)
- Three-quarters of a cup of sugar (quantity can be reduced as desired)
- Two eggs
- Vanilla (one small spoon or sachet)
- One small teaspoon of baking powder
- Two cups of all-purpose white flour
- Half a cup of cornstarch (the secret to the crispy texture!)
- Three-quarters of a cup of vegetable oil
- A pinch of salt
🔪 Method - 10-Minute Cookies Step-by-Step
- Step One (Blender): In the blender, whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes light-colored and creamy.
- Step Two (Oil): Add the oil and beat it well with the liquid mixture for a few seconds.
- Step Three (Dry Ingredients): In a deep bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sifting is important for a crispy cookie.
- Step Four (Mixing): Gradually add the flour to the liquid mixture. Key to Success: Do not overmix! As soon as the flour and cornstarch disappear, stop mixing to obtain a soft and perfect dough.
- Step Five (Shaping): On an oiled tray or one lined with parchment paper, take a piece of the dough and shape it. To get the leaf shape: You can use the back of a spoon or a shaping tool to make the grooves and divisions, or simply shape them into small balls and press them with a fork.
- Step Six (Baking): Place them in a preheated oven at 170°C from the bottom only. They take approximately 10 minutes or until the bottom is lightly golden. Do not overbake them!
🍫 Decorating the Cookies with Chocolate (Optional)
To add a professional touch, take some raw chocolate and melt it in the microwave or over a double boiler (bain-marie). It can be thinned with a small spoon of oil to give it a shine and a smooth consistency. Dip the cookies in the chocolate and place them on parchment paper until they completely harden. This adds a rich flavor and makes them a luxurious dessert!
💡 Golden Tips for Successful 10-Minute Cookies
- Sifting is the Secret: Sifting the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder ensures the cookies have a crisp and light texture.
- No Over-Mixing: Excessive kneading develops gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough instead of crisp and delicious.
- Oven Check: Do not open the oven before 8 minutes have passed. Cookies do not need a long time to bake due to their small size.
- The Cornstarch Substitute: Cornstarch is the magic ingredient that makes the cookie melt in your mouth. Don't skip it.
- Oil vs. Butter: Using oil makes it an economical recipe that doesn't require waiting for butter to soften!
☕ Serving Suggestions - Elevate Your Experience!
These quick cookies are perfect on their own, but serving them with a hot drink makes them a real delight:
- With Karak Tea: The contrast between the strong, spiced flavor of Karak tea and the sweetness of the crisp cookie is a delicious Asian blend.
- With Warm Apple Cider: Especially in cold weather, apple cider flavored with cinnamon and cloves complements the cookie's taste wonderfully.
- With Saleb: The favorite winter drink; the creamy texture of Sahlab with the light crunch of the cookie creates a perfect balance.
- With a Morning Coffee: It's the perfect addition to a healthy and quick breakfast.
