Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to quickly bake soft kefir cookies in the oven? Prepare your food. Remove kefir from the refrigerator 30 — 40 minutes before cooking. It should be at room temperature. Melt the butter in a convenient way and leave to cool on the table. I melted it in the microwave. Take premium grade wheat flour and sift it. Thanks to this, it will be saturated with oxygen, and the cookies will turn out more tender. Turn on the oven to preheat to 160-180 degrees.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour the required amount of kefir into a deep bowl, add sugar, vanillin and salt and stir with a whisk until smooth. When making cookies, you can use a mixer or blender. If you choose the second, take a deep mixing bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Break raw chicken eggs and add to kefir, stir with a whisk until the components are combined.

Step 4

Step 4
Add soda and vinegar to the egg-kefir mixture (the soda needs to be quenched in vinegar by simply mixing it with it) and mix. You don’t have to add vinegar if your kefir is sour (soda will react with it). My kefir is almost neutral in taste, so I add vinegar. Take this point into account and adjust the recipe to suit you.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour the melted cooled butter into the dough and mix with a whisk.

Step 6

Step 6
Add sifted flour in parts and knead the dough. First stir it with a whisk, and then you can use a fork or spoon. The dough is thicker than for pancakes. Keep in mind that you may need more or less flour than I did — be prepared for this. Focus on the end result.

Step 7

Step 7
Cover a baking sheet with parchment or grease with vegetable oil. Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet in small lumps, leaving space between the cookies — it will increase slightly in size during baking. If the cookies are spreading, add more flour. Bake cookies at 160-180 degrees for about 20 minutes. I baked at 180C. The exact time and temperature will depend on your oven. Raw dough is liquid, so it can be baked in cupcake tins

Step 8

Step 8
The finished cookies have a golden color. Remove it from the baking sheet and place it on a plate to cool, then sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Serve these cookies with tea or milk. Bon appetit!
