Recipe for perfect cookies from a meat grinder

Want to recreate the taste you remember from childhood? Below is a tried and tested recipe for cookies from a meat grinder that always turns out well.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of wheat flour,
  • 200g butter,
  • 2 egg yolks,
  • 2 tablespoons of 12% sour cream,
  • 1/2 cup of icing sugar,
  • 2 sachets of vanilla sugar.

Preparation:

  1. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to blend more easily. In a large bowl, chop the butter with the flour, then add the egg yolks, sour cream, icing sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix everything with a knife or a food processor until the dough has a smooth consistency.
  2. Form the dough into a ball, slightly flatten it, and wrap it in cling film. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes. This will make the dough easier to shape. If, after cooling, it turns out to be too hard, leave it for a few minutes at room temperature.
  3. Transfer the dough to a meat grinder with the appropriate cookie attachment. Squeeze portions directly onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, creating various shapes – from classic lines to fancy spirals.
  4. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 10–15 minutes, until the cookies are slightly browned. Monitor the baking process to avoid burning.

Cookies from a meat grinder are not only a tasty dessert, but also a way to spend time with family and friends. Try this simple recipe and discover how much joy homemade baking can bring!
