Ingredients

  • 1 piece Egg, egg white, fresh

  • 20 g Sugar, white

  • 15 g Butter, unsalted

  • 20 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 5 drops Vanilla, extract, imitation

Steps

  1. Melt the butter in a pot over low heat. Place the egg whites in a larger bowl and slowly beat them until they start to foam. Add powdered sugar and the melted butter. Continue to beat until you get a smooth batter, then add five drops of yellow food coloring and mix well. Finally, fold in the flour. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.

  2. Prepare paper strips and write your messages on them. Roll up the strips with the messages. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using the back of a tablespoon, shape the batter into circles about 8 cm in diameter, making sure the circles do not touch each other.

  3. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 5-6 minutes. As soon as the edges of the circles turn brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a spatula to lift the first cookie, place a rolled-up message strip on top, then fold the circle in half to form a crescent shape. Press the edges together with your fingers.

  4. Hold both ends of the cookie and pull them together. Place the prepared cookies on a tray and serve them to your guests.
