Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 large eggs
100 grams sugar (1/2 cup)
a pinch of salt
80 grams flour (2/3 cup)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the two large eggs, a pinch of salt, and the sugar. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously until the mixture becomes lighter in color and slightly thickened.

If you like, you can add a pinch of vanilla powder for extra flavor!

Step 2

Incorporate the Flour

Gradually add the flour to the egg mixture, stirring continuously until everything is well combined and you achieve a smooth batter.

Make sure there are no lumps of flour left in the mixture; it should be uniform in texture.

Step 3

Preheat the Oven and Bake

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) in preparation for baking.

Once heated, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for expansion during baking.

Bake the cookies for 4 to 5 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking!

Servings

Imagine pulling these warm, fluffy cookies right out of the oven. 🍪🧡 You can serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. For a special twist, consider topping them with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate. It adds a nice touch and takes the enjoyment to another level!

Planning a lovely picnic? These cookies make for easy travel snacks that won’t crumble in your bag. Pair them with fresh fruit and a refreshing lemonade for a delightful spread that will impress your friends. Don't forget to pack some napkins for that perfect outdoor treat! ✨🌼

Equipment

Whisk or Electric Mixer

A whisk is great for beating the eggs and sugar together, but an electric mixer will make the process much quicker. If you use a whisk, make sure to beat well until the mixture lightens up.
