When looking for some cookies for breakfast or snack, we can prepare some delicious homemade cornstarch cookies.
The good thing about this recipe is that we can accompany any type of infusion, be it tea, coffee, mate, etc. In addition, its texture is one of the best, to the touch they seem somewhat hard but once you bite into it they melt in your mouth.
At first it can be somewhat complicated to prepare, especially if you don’t have experience in the kitchen. That’s why I recommend that you follow the recipe to the letter, respecting the exact amount of ingredients so that they come out perfect. Once you prepare them 2 or 3 times, you can modify the recipe to your liking.
For these delicious cornstarch cookies, you will need:
Ingredients
- 500 gr. of flour 0000
- 130 gr. Cornstarch (also known as cornstarch flour)
- 1 tsp. of Baking Powder
- 50 gr. Butter (ointment ready)
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 3 eggs
- Milk c/n
- Lemon and Orange Zest c/n
- 100 gr. of sugar
Preparation
1- To begin, we put the butter in a bowl along with the sugar and begin to beat vigorously. You can do this step with an electric mixer to save you time.
2- Once these 2 ingredients are integrated, we add a little milk, the eggs and mix. When we have the texture of a cream, we add the lemon zest.
3- On the other hand, in a different bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and mix a little.
4- Add the flour mixture to the bowl where the cream is and mix.
5- When we have a dough, we knead quickly until it is completely homogeneous and has a smooth texture.
6- We stretch the dough with the help of a rolling pin and proceed to cut the cookies. You can do it with a glass or knife. You can also use some molds to give it the shape you like best.
7- We place the cookies in a suitable container previously buttered and floured. We take the container to a preheated oven at minimum (before you leave the cookies, make sure it is very hot). It is important to cook the cookies over low heat for 20 minutes for a perfect texture.
8- We take the cookies out of the oven and wait for them to cool to room temperature.
And that’s it, we can now enjoy delicious cornstarch cookies!
