Sour Cream Cookies

These cookies are very fast to prepare, and one can either make them sweet or savory. Just make sure to read the comments because I'd tweak the recipe next time!

Ingredients:

Baking sheet

Parchment paper

150 g all-purpose flour

100 g (1 stick) butter

75 g Creme fraiche or sour cream

Some cinnamon sugar

Topping:

2 tablespoon milk

25 g cinnamon sugar

Preparation:

1. Sift flour into a bowl, add butter and sour cream. Using an electric hand mixer whisk ingredients until well combined.

2. Flour a surface, the knead dough quickly and shape two long rods (1 inch or 2.5 cm diameter). Roll rods in cinnamon sugar, wrap into plastic wrap, and chill overnight in refrigerator.

3. Cut 1/2 cm or 1/5 inch slices and put on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush cookies with milk, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.

4. Bake cookies at 200 degrees Celsius (375 F) for about 12 minutes.

5. Remove cookies from oven, let cool and serve.

Comments:

1. These cookies are not sweet at all. To make them sweet I'd add 50 g sugar to the batter. I decided to glaze them with powdered sugar to give them some taste.

2. For a savory version I'd add some herbs and salt (optional) to the batter and sprinkle cheese on top.
