Cookies
Description
The recipe for "Marquis" cookies was inspired by an interesting presentation I saw at my friend's place. She arranged a square "well" using long cookies, just like we used to build with elongated wooden "bricks" as children, and placed a bowl of icing inside. I decided to simplify things and came up with the Marquis's "hat." Give it a try—the cookies are really delicious. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
1. Cut the room-temperature butter into pieces and mix with flour. Then rub the mixture into crumbs by hand or using a blender. Add egg yolks, sugar, and vanillin. Knead until you get a smooth, glossy dough. Roll into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator.

2. After half an hour, take out the dough, roll it out into a sheet of medium thickness, and cut it into thin pieces. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven.

3. By the way, in this recipe the cookies should not be browned. So don't overbake them in the oven. Let them cool down for now while we make the icing. Beat the egg white until it turns into a thick but airy foam. Then, carefully, without stopping the beating, add the sugar and food coloring.

4. Dip the finished cookies into the glaze at one end, and place them around the bowl of glaze, which can be used later for dipping the cookies. Done!
