Portuguese cookie
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. The base of many Portuguese desserts consists of egg yolks and a large amount of sugar. I suggest making “Portuguese cookies” and treating your loved ones to this simple yet very tasty homemade pastry. As spices you can add cinnamon, vanilla, or lemon zest. The cookies turn out with a delicate buttery flavor, slightly crunchy and literally melting in the mouth… I’m sure you’ll like it. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.

Now, using your hands to pinch off pieces of dough, roll the cookies into long sticks. The cookies don’t have to be all the same length; the size is entirely up to your preference. Coat the cookies in sugar on all sides and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake at 200 °C for about 15 minutes.
