These cookies resemble the simple Italian breakfast pastries, meaning they are very basic, low in fat, low in sugar, and for some, best enjoyed dipped in coffee. They are really quick to make, requiring only a few ingredients.

Prep Time15 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time25 mins
Ingredients
 250 Flour
 60 Soft butter
 1 Baking powder
 60 Sugar
 1 Vanilla sugar
 10 Warm milk
 1 Sugar crystals
Directions
1

The dough. Warm the milk. Mix the flour with the yeast in a bowl or in the bowl of your mixer. Make a well and place the butter and sugars in it. Knead everything while gradually pouring in the warm milk until a smooth dough forms.

2

Cookie Formation Roll out half of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 7-8 centimeters. Cut out square cookies using a cookie cutter (of course, you can also score the dough with a pastry wheel or even a knife).

3

Cooking Preheat the oven to 180° (350°F) with fan (or 200° or 400°F without fan). Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with another sheet of parchment paper (they will puff up, but not spread; it is not necessary to space them out). Sprinkle with sugar crystals and bake for about ten minutes. Keep an eye on the cooking.
