Preparation

How to prepare Grandma's Cookies

To make grandma's cookies, first slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a small knife 1. Mix the baking ammonia in the milk 2, then pour the whole eggs into a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment 3.

Turn on the stand mixer and add the brown sugar in 3 parts 4. When the mixture is fluffy, add the vanilla bean seeds 5 and the oil in a thin stream 6.

and the milk and ammonia mixture 7, keeping the mixer running. Finally, add the previously sifted flour 8 and incorporate it with a spatula 9.

Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag with a 15 mm star nozzle (about 9/16 inch) 10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper 11, taking care to slightly butter the bottom of the tray to help the paper adhere. Pipe the mixture, dragging it for about 4 inches to form the cookies 12.

Once you've filled a baking sheet 13, you can sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar 14. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 25 minutes on the middle rack. Once cooked, take the cookies out of the oven 15 and let them cool slightly before serving.

Storage

Grandma's cookies can be stored for a week in a tin box. It is possible to freeze the raw dough; before using it, let it thaw in the refrigerator.

Advice

It is possible to flavor the cookies with lemon zest or make them even more delicious by covering them with strips of melted dark chocolate after baking.
