Easter cookies

• 300 gr. butter
• 300 gr. granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, medium
• 120 gr. Orange juice
• zest, from 2 oranges
• 50 gr. cognac
• 1 kg of wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 50 gr. milk
• 1 pinch of salt
• cloves, for the eyes
• 1 yolk, diluted in 2 tbsp. water

Execution Method:

• Preheat the oven to 190^The C in the air.
• Put the butter, sugar, and vanilla in the mixer bowl and beat with the whisk at medium speed for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy.
• Then, one by one, add the eggs, juice and zest from the orange, brandy and continue beating.
• Put the flour, baking powder, soda in a bowl and mix with a spoon.
• Put half of the solid ingredients in the mixer, the milk, the salt and continue to beat for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, add the remaining solid ingredients and mix with a spoon until the ingredients are homogenized. Then knead with your hands until it becomes a dough.
• The cookies we will make will be shaped like bunnies.
• Cut a piece of 30 g. shape into a strip and roll like a snail. In this way we create the body from the bunnies.
• Cut a piece of 15 g. shape it into a small strip and roll it into a fish shape. In this way we create the head from the bunnies. We put a clove to make the eye.
• Cut a piece of 3 g. and shape it into a ball. In this way we create the tail from the bunnies.
• We follow the same procedure for the whole dough.
• Transfer the cookies to pan with parchment paper, brush with the egg diluted with water and bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Let them cool and serve.
