beer

I remember my mother making these cookies from my childhood. I’m not sure if I liked them as a kid, but somehow I remember them. Mother made them using Žigul beer, the most famous beer in Soviet-era Estonia, which was the brand of light beer at the time.
I used Corona beer for my cookies that a beer-loving friend left for me at home. Should the cookies be renamed after him? The internet is full of recipes for these cookies, I used a recipe I found in my mother’s old cookbook and used it almost unchanged. I did replace the margarine of that time with farm butter.

Preparation time: 1.5 hours
Level: Easy
Quantity: 5 pans of cookies

Ingredients:
400 g of butter
600 g wheat flour
200 ml light beer
A little sea salt

Granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for dusting on the cookies

Preparation:

1. Mix flour, beer butter and salt. Knead it into a smooth dough. Do not knead the dough for too long, it is enough when it has become uniform. There is no need to make the gluten network dense.
2. The dough is relatively soft, place it in the refrigerator to cool for at least 30 minutes.
3. Sprinkle flour on the work surface, roll out a piece of dough about 3 mm thick, brush with water until slightly wet, and sprinkle with sugar liberally. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and cut the cookies into squares of the desired size with a dough cutter.
4. Use a cake spatula to place the cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.
5. Store cookies in an airtight container for a short time.
   Ready!!
