To prepare these delicious cookies, it all starts with a careful selection of ingredients, essential for obtaining exceptional pastries. In a large bowl, sifted flour is added, an ingredient that provides the necessary structure, along with soft margarine, which will add a touch of creaminess. Sugar, a key element for sweetness, will be mixed with honey, which will impart a flavorful taste and a moist texture. Fresh, quality eggs are essential for binding the ingredients, and cinnamon will bring a warm aroma, characteristic of homemade pastries.
Add baking soda, a leavening agent that will help the cookies rise and become fluffy. Gradually add milk to achieve a homogeneous mixture, perfect for forming the cookies. Use an electric mixer or a spatula to combine all the ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain. It is important to achieve a uniform paste, which will ensure a pleasant texture when baked.
Once the dough is ready, prepare the baking tray. Cover a tray with parchment paper, ensuring it is well stretched and that there are no creases that could compromise the appearance of the cookies. It is recommended to use a tray that allows good air circulation for even baking.
Before starting to bake, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. This is the ideal temperature for achieving beautifully golden cookies. While the oven is heating, you can start portioning the dough. Use a cookie scoop, a piping bag, or even two teaspoons to form small portions of dough and place them on the parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough space between each portion, as the cookies will spread during baking.
Once all the portions are on the tray, place the cookies in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 5 to 7 minutes. You will know they are ready when they acquire a tempting golden color on the edges. It is important not to leave them too long, as they can dry out, and their texture will not be as pleasant. After removing them from the oven, let them cool on a wire rack, where they will firm up a bit and become perfect to enjoy alongside a cup of tea or coffee. These cookies are ideal for serving at a gathering with friends or for gifting to loved ones.
