How to cook deliciously - Holiday Sunshine Cookies
1 . Stage
Sift the flour and powdered sugar together. Butter and yolks at room temperature. Spices as desired, I have: cinnamon, nutmeg, badjan, cardamom, cloves. Tangerines medium size 4-5 pcs. The zest of one orange.
2 . Stage
Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until white.
3 . Stage
Then the yolks and also whipped until puffy and homogeneous.
4 . Stage
Then salt, zest, juice, spices and whisk again.
5 . Stage
Then add all the flour and knead well.
6 . Stage
The dough should be homogeneous, well kneaded, not sticky, soft.
7 . Stage
I divide it into two equal parts...
8 . Stage
I form sausages about 5 cm thick.
9 . Stage
I wrap it in a bag or cling film and put it in the fridge for 3 hours.
10 . Stage
When the resting time of the dough is coming to an end, I prepare the mandarins. I wash, dry, and cut into rings about 0.5 cm thick.
11 . Stage
I put it on a paper towel and leave it for 20 minutes. Then on a new towel I do the same with the back side.
12 . Stage
When the dough rests, I "adjust" the size to the size of the tangerine. Or rather, the diameter of the dough should be slightly larger than the tangerine.
13 . Stage
I cut the dough into 15 equal pieces.
14 . Stage
I put it on a baking tray.
15 . Stage
Now you need to take some kind of mold (shot glass, cup) with a diameter like a tangerine...
16 . Stage
Dip it in sugar, if it's not sticky, you can wet it with water...
17 . Stage
And in the center make a small depression for a tangerine. The mold needs to be dipped in sugar each time.
18 . Stage
Brush the edges with whisked egg yolk.
19 . Stage
Put a piece of tangerine in the center and lightly as if to seal it. Sprinkle sugar on top. And I send to the preheated oven to 170 degrees for 25-30 minutes, cook until ready.
20 . Stage
My cookies took 30 minutes to bake. While the cookies are hot they are very fragile. I let them cool slightly.
21 . Stage
Then I put it on a rack and leave it until it cools.
22 . Stage
I put it on a dish or a plate...
23 . Stage
You can lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar... And the "Sunshine" cookies are ready:)
