• Apples darken quickly in the air. To prevent this from happening, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice.
• Baking from sifted flour is softer and tastier, so do not neglect this procedure before kneading the dough.
• Often cookies are coated with icing sugar. But rarely add something to it. With vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, the sprinkle will be more interesting and much more aromatic.
• Is there no ingredient for cookies? Try replacing! Butter easily replaces margarine; instead of kefir, you can use fermented baked milk or yogurt. Instead of an apple, you can take a pear or quince. Soda works in the test no worse than a baking powder.
• If cottage cheese is added to the cookie dough, then it must be wiped to get rid of large particles and make the product homogeneous.
