Soft shortbread cookies
Description
Instead of margarine — butter, instead of baking powder — soda with vinegar. I make this healthy and delicious cookie for the whole family. It turns out quite soft due to the high butter content. Minimal ingredients and time are required to prepare this tasty treat for children.

Step 1
1. I make this soft shortbread cookie for my child. I like it because all the ingredients are simple and natural, with no harmful additives or GMOs. The cookies are very quick to prepare. This recipe is given in full portion (makes about 30 pieces). First, beat the eggs with sugar.

2. The flour must be sifted and mixed with baking soda, activated with vinegar. I definitely prefer baking soda over baking powder. Many housewives know this recipe as "cookies made through a meat grinder." However, I don't add mayonnaise for fluffiness, but use more butter instead.

7. I line the baking sheet with foil; there's no need to grease it. Place the dough pieces on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each (the cookies will expand during baking). Adjust the thickness of the cookies to your preference (they taste better when thicker).
