Dear hostesses and readers of our cookbook! Today I want to introduce you to a simple recipe for a quick, tasty and simple lean cookie on a cucumber brine. This anti-crisis pastry was very popular back in the 90s, and over time, it lost its leading position and gave way to modern sweets. Although with such a wide variety of gourmet baked goods, sometimes you want to return to proven simple cookie recipes.
The kneaded dough according to this recipe is baked in two ways. The first is to roll the dough thinly, and then the cookies will be crumbly and crunchy. The second is to roll a ball with your hands, which you slightly press down, you get baked goods that look like soft gingerbread. Also, two types of products can be made from one dough at once: both thin crunches and soft buns.
In any case, whichever baking option you make, it will be tasty, dietary, economical, lean, and in many cases will help out. Note that the recipe contains honey, which plays the role of a sweetener. But if you or family members are allergic to this bee product, then replace it with plain or brown sugar. The second will be more useful, and the baked goods will be more aromatic.

7. Knead the dough, form into a lump and leave to rest in the refrigerator under cling film for about 20 minutes. If the consistency of the dough seems too runny, then add flour, because gluten is different for each flour.
8. Then dust the worktop with flour and roll out the dough into a thin layer of about 3-5 mm.
9. Use any convenient shape to cut the cookies on the dough sheet.
10. If desired, grease the baking sheet with a thin layer of vegetable oil. This option is optional, though. it is present in the dough, so the products will not stick to the bottom of the mold.
11. Place the baking sheet in an oven heated to 180 ° C for 30 minutes. But you can bake cookies for 20 minutes, then it will be softer, and if you keep it for 35-40 minutes, it will turn out crispy. Remove the finished product from the baking sheet and you can start drinking tea.
