Why are these called Mommy cookies? Because they are made with ingredients every household has, they are simple and quick to make and they make quite a bit so inexpensive. In my time, all moms made these for after school snacks.
These cookies are not too sweet and perfect in my opinion. However, if you like sweet cookies increase sugar to 1 cup.
1 egg yolk (keep
the white for the top)
1/4 cup butter or
margarine (room temperature)
1/2 cup white sugar
(if you like your cookies sweet, increase sugar it to 1 cup)
1 package vanilla
sugar
1 teaspoon baking
soda
½ cup oil
½ cup plain yogurt
3-3.5 cup flour
1 lemon peel grated
with small side of the grater (optional)
Top: Egg white and chopped walnuts
Notes: you can replace walnuts with sugar or lemon peel with orange peel
- Wash 1 lemon and grate the peel using the
small side of the greater.
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients
except the egg white and flour
- Slowly add the flour to get a soft dough (use
your hands)
- Preheat oven to 350
- Use a lined pan with cooking paper
- Take 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough and form
a small “ball” and place on the pan.
- Once all the dough is done, glaze with egg
white and sprinkle walnuts
- Bake 25 minutes until edges of the cookies are
slightly browned
- Let it cool
