Veronica's cookies

It's a mistery! – jokes Veronica, mother of Ravenna – By now you eat them even if I put 80% of hemp flour and bitter cocoa – and I assure you that there were people who spit them, if you all eat them! ". "There my basic recipe is with a maximum of 200 grams of flour / flour: I mix randomly, to taste, spelled flour, hemp flour, normal flour, cocoa flour, almonds … In rotation. I put only 50 gr of brown sugar, a pinch of baking soda and a pinch of salt. And I mix everything. Liquid ingredients: 65 ml of water; 50 ml ofrice or corn oil and a little teaspoon of lemon juice. Emulsify with each other and then mix the flour: it is a dough that you can easily roll out and make the disks. For the filling – if you want to do double, 'raviolo' style – just use mustard or a jam that does not melt during cooking. The best in my opinion is that of cooked apple and amaretti, but it is so much that I do not, because it takes a bit 'more … Then 10/12 minutes in a static oven on 180 °, and cookies are made! ". Without yeast, therefore. Healthy, good and of great satisfaction, for mom and daughter. Even in their case they are become a game: Veronica prepares ravioli biscuits with different stuffings, the vast majority super-healthy and only one (or a couple) with chocolate cream! A kind of treasure hunt where the child has to eat almost all of them before finding the prize!
