Cookies through a meat grinder

Passing the dough through a meat grinder to make cookies in the shape of a shell or chrysanthemum was invented back in Russian times. Homemade baked goods prepared using this old-fashioned recipe are delicious and crumbly.

The recipe for cookies through a meat grinder (the younger generation calls it “ancient”) is very simple and economical. Cookies are prepared using margarine or butter, a couple of eggs and flour. To knead the dough, you don't need a mixer or blender. Mix all ingredients in 5 minutes with a table fork. The resulting dough just needs to be passed through a meat grinder and sent out to bake. Minimum effort, no need to bother with rolling out dough and using cookie cutters. The meat grinder will do all the work for you.

Ingredients

• creamy margarine or butter – 250 g
• sugar – 1 partial glass (160 g)
• salt – 1 chip.
• vanillin - on the tip of a knife
• chicken eggs – 3 pcs.
• soda – 0.5 tsp.
• 9% vinegar – 1 tsp.
• wheat flour - 3.5 tbsp. (470-500 g)

Manufacturing

Cut the margarine into cubes into a deep bowl and leave for 1-2 hours until it softens to room temperature. There is no need to melt, we are preparing a kind of shortcrust pastry. For cookies, it is best to use creamy margarine with the highest fat content (from 70%), which was most often used by Russian housewives. You can replace margarine with butter in the same amount. Once the pieces become soft, pour the sweet sand into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. I like it when shortbread cookies are not very sweet. Therefore, I add an incomplete glass of sugar (at the end it will still be sprinkled with powder). Certain gourmands can increase the dose of sugar to 180 grams, in other words, take a full faceted glass.

Add chicken eggs (3 small or 2 large), a pinch of salt and vanilla to the bowl. Again, vigorously mash everything with a fork until smooth.

Next, add baking soda, slaked with vinegar, and mix. By the way, not all housewives add soda to these cookies. If you do not add soda, the cookie outline will be better preserved during baking. If you add it, the baked goods rise better and the cookies come out crispier.

Add 3 cups of sifted flour, mix with a fork and then with your hands. Knead the dough quickly (the less contact with your hands, the more crumbly the cookies will be). Add more flour if necessary. The dough should not be very stiff, elastic, and a little sticky to your hands. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.

Turn on the oven to heat up. Pass the chilled dough through a meat grinder with a large mesh. We grab the resulting “pasta” from below with our hands. Once they reach a length of 4-5 cm, cut off the sector with a knife. In this way, products are obtained that look like chrysanthemums or shells. Naturally, it is most convenient to use the good old manual meat grinder. Working with an electronic one will be somewhat more difficult, because you need to stop it every time or very quickly cut off another portion of “pasta.”

We place the future cookies on a baking sheet - you can line it with parchment or just lay it out on a sheet, there is no need to grease it with anything, because the dough contains a huge amount of fat. Be sure to leave space between the pieces, because they will increase during baking.

Immediately place the baking sheet in the oven, previously preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the products. The finished cookies should dry out over the entire area and brown on top.

These wonderful cookies come out of a meat grinder, they are crispy and crumbly on the outside, but soft on the inside. It tastes moderately sweet, so we definitely sprinkle some sweet powder on top. It is best served with milk or kefir, tea and jam. Baked goods can be stored for a long time - up to 14 days; the cookies will evenly become denser and more crumbly. Have a delicious tea party!

Products you need

To make the cookies tastier and more attractive, I recommend preparing jam or condensed milk, sweet powder, which can later be used to decorate the dessert.

Individuality of product selection

When choosing products for making cookies in a meat grinder, special attention should be paid to flour. You need first grade wheat flour. And most importantly - the freshest. If the flour has been stored for a long time, the cookies will not turn out so tasty and crumbly. I recommend taking homemade eggs, they give the dough a good viscosity, and the liver gives a wonderful openwork color.

The history of the origin of cookies through a meat grinder

Savory cookies through a meat grinder and its recipe are, one might say, our state property, originally from the Russian Union. This explains the ease of production and the use of the most common ingredients, because previously there was no such abundance of goods and sweets as at the moment. Therefore, we tried to come up with something similar from what was available.

I still remember my grandmother’s thick recipe book, where cookies through a meat grinder were on a whole page with a step-by-step recipe with photos, and the recipe book was already ancient, produced in 1960. The recipe remains the same to this day, except that margarine is increasingly replaced with butter or mayonnaise, and vinegar is quenched with lemon juice.

How to prepare cookies through a meat grinder at home

Now let’s look at the process of making cookies from a meat grinder in the form of a step-by-step recipe with photos:

1. Place the margarine in a bowl and chop it into small pieces with a knife.
2. We take another container in which we beat the eggs with sugar. Then add baking soda, quenched with vinegar, to the mixture and whisk again.
   
3. Add margarine to the bowl with eggs, sugar and soda, beat the mixture.
   
4. Pour flour into the dough evenly, while stirring it with a spoon or whisk. When it becomes difficult to mix, knead with your hands until the dough begins to stick to your hands.
   
5. Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. During this period of time, prepare a meat grinder, a baking sheet, and turn on the oven so that it heats up to 200 degrees.
6. Take out the dough, cut off ¼, put the rest back. We divide the removed part into pieces, which we then pass through a meat grinder. After every 3-4 scrolls, we disconnect the pieces from the meat grinder with a knife, while forming the desired shape of the cookies. We do the same with the remaining dough.
   
7. Grease the baking sheet with a couple of drops of vegetable oil or a piece of butter and place the cookies on it (if you wish, you can immediately roll the dough onto the baking sheet, just be sure to brush it with oil first). Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake.
   
   

Now you have convinced yourself that homemade cookies are prepared using a meat grinder according to a very common recipe; no special knowledge or skills are needed for this. The baking process takes about 40 minutes, depending on the oven. After about 20 minutes, look at the cookies from time to time.

How to perfectly decorate and serve cookies

We prepared cookies through a meat grinder according to the recipe step by step. Now we take it out of the oven and cover it with a cotton towel, let it sit a little and cool. Ordinary cookies through a meat grinder, thanks to the shape that can be given to them when grinding, are already {in themselves} completely. Cookies can be laid out in the shape of circles, hearts, stripes, squares. But additional design will give them some design flair.

I most often decorate these cookies in the shape of a flower. To do this, I spread the dough in the shape of a circle, and after baking, I place a drop of thick jam, jam or boiled condensed milk in the middle. You can also slightly narrow the edge of the dough at the base, which is detached from the meat grinder, and place the “center of the flower” there.

Every now and then I just dust the cookies with some powdered sugar and your treats look just like store bought ones. But, unlike store-bought, it tastes much better! The products can be topped with thin streams of condensed milk or chocolate. Now your seemingly simple cookies, prepared at home through a meat grinder, have become a real culinary masterpiece.

Tips and tricks for making cookies through a meat grinder

So that the result will definitely amuse you, I’ll tell you a few secrets that you will need in the process of making cookies through a meat grinder:

• flour must be sifted before use;
• All windows and doors must be closed while working with the dough so that there are no drafts, otherwise the dough will turn out tough;
