MOMMY COOKIES

 

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.

 Makes 20 cookies

 

 

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
