Delightful Pomorskie Kozyli Cookies Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine 300 grams of all-purpose flour with 150 grams of softened unsalted butter and 100 grams of granulated sugar.

Add one large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Using your hands or a mixer, blend until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to five days.

When ready to bake, take the dough out of the refrigerator a little ahead of time to soften.

Divide the dough into several parts and roll it out to your desired thickness. For traditional kozyli, aim for a thin consistency to ensure even baking.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet and cut out your desired shapes.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, keeping in mind that thinner cookies will bake quicker.

Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack.

If you wish to add a glaze, mix 1 egg white with 150 grams of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth.

Once the cookies are cool, drizzle this glaze over the top for a festive finish.
