Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pickle cookies? Prepare the required ingredients. It doesn’t matter what kind of brine you use: from purchased cucumbers or from those that you spun yourself for the winter. The taste of the cookies will be almost the same (unless the brine has a strong garlic smell).

Step 2

Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix cucumber pickle, sugar and sunflower oil.

Step 3

Step 3
Add flour mixed with soda and knead into a soft, non-sticky dough. It may take a little more or a little less flour. Let the dough rest for a while under the film. You can use baking powder instead of baking soda.

Step 4

Step 4
Roll out the dough on the work surface of the table into a layer 0.6-0.7 mm thick and cut out shaped cookies from it. If you donʼt have special molds, you can use a regular glass and make round cookies.

Step 5

Step 5
Bake in an oven preheated to 180-170 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the cookies turn pink. If you like it drier, hold it longer. The temperature and baking time depend only on your oven, use it as a guide. When the cookies are browned, remove them and cool.

Step 6

Step 6
You can sprinkle the finished cookies with powdered sugar. Its taste is no different from regular cookies (except that it turns out tastier). The brine, as I understand it, is used here for friability, and it does its job! Bon appetit!
