3-2-1 and an egg

Time: 30 minutes prep, 12 minutes cook
Servings: 24
 

Directions

  1. Mix it all together into a nice smooth dough. Let rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. Cut small pieces, roll them in your hands into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. gently flatten the cookies out with a wet fork, dipped in cold-water to get the strips in the cookie.
  3. Bake for 12 minutes at 150C, 320F, until golden.
  4. I add to the cookies more flavors that I love in cookies. Here are some ideas:
  5. - Vanilla almost a must in any cookie- a few drops of vanilla essence.
  6. - Orange zest from half an orange or lemon zest from half a lemon. Try to cut long thin strips to get some color in the cookies.
  7. - Coconut flakes- I adore coconut and in these crispy butter cookies it is delicious.
  8. - Sliced almonds.
  9. - Chocolate chips.
  10. - Craisins or raisins.
  11. Also we like to dip half a cookie in chocolate or rainbow sprinkles or raw sugar, before baking or in melted chocolate after baking and cooling the cookies.
  12. Keep the cookies in an airtight container for a week or two, not that you will have any left that long....
  13. I have many many more ideas of things you can bake or make with your kids.
  14. Have fun, that is what it is all about.

This is my childhood butter cookie. An easy Danish treat! an who can't remember 3-2-1 and an egg?
I think that being in the kitchen with kids at ALL ages is important and fun. My children have been a part of our kitchen since they were born. Sitting and watching from the Babybjorn and later in a high chair, getting to touch everything and squeeze, taste and smell.
