Cookie on a stick
Description
Baking is simple and quick. There is a small nuance in making the cookies. Since the dough is made from vegetable oil, it doesn’t need to rest. Once prepared, go straight to shaping. So first the filling, then the dough. Otherwise, the dough “gets salty,” the oil starts to leak out, and the cookies turn tasteless and hard. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Transfer the cookies onto a baking sheet. Press the edges of the cookies with a fork. Divide the wooden skewers into three parts (if they are long), soak them well and insert them into the cookies. Place them to bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 12–15 minutes. Make more cookies from the remaining dough in the same way.
