Homemade shortbread cookie recipe with kurabye margarine. Kurabye at home

10.02.2024

Turkey, Syria, France, Greece, Azerbaijan, Crimea and a number of other eastern states are fighting for the right to be called the inventors of this delicacy. Its popularity is so great that it is difficult to find a person who has not tried kurabye cookies in his life. The cooking recipe is so simple that it can be easily repeated at home, as many Tatar and Turkish housewives do when baking for the holidays.

According to legend, the cook of one Persian sultan had to prepare a dessert, but he did not have the ingredients for traditional oriental sweets at his disposal; in the kitchen there was only sugar, butter, eggs and flour. Then, in order not to incur the wrath of the ruler, the inventive cook came up with the idea of baking cookies in the shape of a flower, adding a little saffron to the dough and rolling the finished baked goods in powdered sugar. This is how the first kurabye appeared.

If we accept that this is not a legend at all, but a real story that took place, then it becomes obvious and understandable why shortbread cookies, which appeared in the East and became loved all over the world, are called that. Indeed, translated from Arabic, “kurabiye” or “khurabiye” means sweetness.

But there are two more interpretations of this word. According to another version, the name kurabye comes from the adjective ġarīb - strange, alien, exotic. Indeed, such a sweetness was more than exotic for oriental cuisine. In the 16th century in Turkey, the word “kurabiye” meant a small thing, which is why small crumbly cookies were called that.

Classic recipe

Classic kurabiye is made from dough similar to shortbread, but unlike it, it is fattier and softer, which, without making titanic efforts, can be squeezed out through a pastry cutter.

The composition of the correct kurabiye daisies includes:

100 g of premium quality butter;
45 g powdered sugar;
30 g egg white;
7 g vanilla sugar;
155 g wheat flour;
thick jam or marmalade.

Baking technology:

Consistently combine the dough ingredients: soft butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and protein. You can cope with this by using kitchen equipment (mixer, food processor) or a hand whisk.
After this, add flour in small parts. You cannot add this ingredient all at once, as the dough may turn out too thick. When the mass reaches the desired consistency without kneading for a long time so that the dough does not drag on, transfer it to a pastry bag with a French star nozzle and pipe the cookies.
Then you can immediately put it in the oven, you can make indentations and fill them with jam, and then bake. Another option is to freeze the ingredients and bake the cookies later. To prevent the flowers from spreading, bake kurabye at high temperatures of 220-240 degrees until lightly browned, for 7 to 12 minutes.

Cooking according to GOST at home

The times of the USSR, as well as strict adherence to GOST standards in the food industry, are far behind us, so the taste of childhood favorite delicacies prepared using new technologies is often disappointing.

To prevent this from happening, having decided to drink a cup of tea with aromatic kurabye, it is better to spend time not going to the store, but baking it in accordance with GOST requirements, taking:

300 g butter 82% fat;
150 g powdered sugar;
260 g flour;
3 chicken egg whites;
3 g salt;
2 g vanillin.

Step-by-step preparation:

Combine butter with very soft consistency with powdered sugar and vanilla. You can cope with this process manually by grinding these ingredients, or whipping until fluffy with a mixer.
Add flour a little at a time to the sweet butter mixture. It may require a little less than the amount specified in the recipe, since the mass should be soft and plastic.
Beat the whites into a fluffy foam along with a pinch of salt. Mix the protein foam into the dough in two or three additions. This must be done carefully so as not to precipitate the mass.
Squeeze small cookies through the “Star” or “Astra” nozzle onto the prepared baking sheet (greased or lined with parchment). If desired, make centers. The center of the kurabiye chamomile can be a drop of thick jam or preserves, a piece of dried apricots, or a small round berry (cranberry, lingonberry, currant).
Cookies are baked at 240 degrees. The duration of heat treatment will largely depend on the characteristics of the oven and can range from 7 to 12 minutes.

With condensed milk

Fans of boiled condensed milk will love the version of kurabye with condensed milk. The filling is applied to the cookies after baking, so there is no need to be afraid that it will escape from the pieces in a hot oven.

The proportions of products for dough and filling will be as follows:

100 g softened butter;
40 g of powdered sugar;
1 chicken egg white;
100-120 g wheat flour;
110 g or to taste boiled condensed milk.

Progress:

Combine soft butter, room temperature egg whites and powder in a bowl. Then beat these products until they are as smooth as possible.
After this, add the last ingredient of the dough - flour, also mixing it with a mixer. The result should be a thin dough that can be easily squeezed through a pastry cutter.
Taking a culinary syringe or a bag with a suitable nozzle, place the cookies on parchment or a silicone mat. Bake kurabye for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees until a beautiful golden color.
Using the same confectionery tools, place boiled condensed milk on top of the finished cookies. In another option, you can combine cookies in pairs using condensed milk.

Baku Kurabye cookies

Traditional Baku shortbread cookies, kurabiye, are round in shape, and spices are a mandatory ingredient in the dough. If desired, the finished products can be coated with a glaze of powdered sugar mixed with pomegranate or lemon juice.

List of ingredients needed for this baking:

240 g butter;
195 g powdered sugar;
150 ml milk;
50 g honey;
8 clove buds;
5 g very fine lemon zest;
2.5 g ground cardamom;
500 g finely ground wheat flour.

Sequence of actions:

At room temperature, naturally soften the butter to the consistency of sour cream. Then grind it with powdered sugar and liquid honey.
Grind the cloves in a coffee grinder to a powder and add them to the dough along with other spices. Next, pour in the milk one by one and stir in the flour until you get a soft, homogeneous dough.
Cool the finished dough for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator, then roll it out into a flat cake 10 mm thick, from which cut circles with a glass. Bake cookies for about 5 minutes at 180 degrees. Sprinkle the cooled pastry with a mixture of powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.

Delicacy with walnuts

The recipe for kurabye cookies with walnuts, popular among Azerbaijanis, involves the use of the following products:

90 g of walnuts for the dough and additionally for decoration;
150 g butter;
64 g powdered sugar;
1 protein;
15 ml vanilla essence;
230 g flour.

Baking steps:

Remove the shells from the walnuts and, when you have the required amount, brown them a little in the oven at 180 degrees (about 7-9 minutes). Grind the cooled nuts into crumbs using a meat grinder, and leave 12 beautiful butterfly halves for decoration.
For the dough, using a mixer, first beat the butter and powdered sugar, then add the essence and protein to this mixture, and at the final stage, mix the flour and crushed walnuts into the dough.
Form twelve identical balls from the finished dough, place them on a baking sheet, flatten them a little and press half a walnut kernel into the center. Bake cookies at 220 degrees for approximately 12 minutes.

How to cook two-color kurabiye

A version of this two-color cookie is especially popular in Turkey. It does not use eggs, since the mass of whipped butter and vegetable oil turns out just as airy, although a little heavier.

For one serving of two-color kurabye you will need:

250 g butter;
60 ml refined vegetable oil;
95 g powdered sugar;
490 g flour;
55 g cocoa powder.

Algorithm of actions:

Beat soft butter together with the vegetable component until fluffy. First add the powdered sugar and mix, then stir in the flour in small portions.
When the finished dough can be assembled into a bun, ½ of it is often mixed with cocoa powder and you can begin shaping. Take approximately a small equal piece of dough of both colors, crumple it into a ball with a fancy black and white pattern.
Place the two-color balls on a baking sheet, flatten them into a flat cake, and bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for a quarter of an hour.

With strawberry jam

Pleasant fruity sourness ideally complements the taste of this delicacy of traditional oriental cuisine, so viscous strawberry jam or confiture can complement the traditional recipe:

200 g butter;
75 g powdered sugar;
52 g egg white;
5 g vanillin powder or its extract;
290 g flour;
25 g strawberry jam.

How to make kurabye cookies with jam:

Beat soft butter with a mixer until fluffy and lighter in color along with powdered sugar. Then pour the protein into the butter mixture and beat everything again.
Turn off the mixer and put it aside, and mix the flour and vanillin into the dough manually using a spatula.
There are two ways to shape cookies: pipe the product using a pastry bag or cut it out using cookie cutters. In the second case, the dough will have to be cooled and rolled out into a centimeter layer.
In the formed products, make small depressions in the center, for example, with your thumb and fill them with jam. Bake the kurabiye for 10-15 minutes at 190 degrees.

Store-bought Kurabye tastes like margarine and can’t compare with homemade one! I was very happy when I tried the Kurabye recipe at home, it tasted much better, and the flavor of the crumbly crumbly cookies from childhood was preserved!

The idea of decorating a children's holiday table with such cookies warms my soul, and you can also bake a pile of cookies and put them in a beautiful metal box. Such a sweet gift will definitely lift your spirits.

I suggest you bake and enjoy!

How to make Kurabye cookies at home

Prepare the following ingredients:

Butter - 100 g.
Yolk of one egg
Wheat flour - 250-300 g.
Powdered sugar - 70 g.
Vanilla sugar packet
Thick jam, marmalade, preserves (you need something thick enough for a spoon to stand up to)
Starch -1 tablespoon

Kurabye recipe with step-by-step photos

Mix butter (100 g) at room temperature with powdered sugar. If the oil is just from the refrigerator, let it warm up, leave for 40 minutes and only then mix with powder (70 g)

Add the yolk of one egg to the butter-sugar mixture. If, when separating the yolk from the white, you were unable to do it perfectly and some of the white gets into the dough, it’s okay, it won’t affect the result.

By the way, many Kurabye recipes from the Internet include just the white, not the yolk.

Using a fork, stir the mixture until smooth.

Pour 250 g of flour into the dough. Add flour in small portions, stirring constantly, controlling the consistency of the dough (all housewives have different flour in moisture content and degree of grinding, you may need more or less 250 g)

Gather the dough into a ball. We pick up all the crumbs so that there are more cookies and nothing tasty is wasted =).

So, the dough for kurabye is ready! Let's start creating the products.

Making Kurabye cookies at home

In an ordinary home kitchen, you can use a special metal nozzle and a pastry syringe to repeat the shape of Kurabye. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the necessary equipment, so I came up with my own way of shaping cookies. I'll tell you in detail)

First, break off small balls of dough from a large ball of dough. For convenience, you can immediately place the dough balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment.

The parchment sheet does not need to be greased with anything or sprinkled with flour, since the dough for Kurabye contains a large amount of oil.

Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, press down each ball, turning it into a flat cake. Don’t be overzealous, we need the final cakes to remain thick, at least 0.5 cm.

We make a depression in the middle of each piece (we use available kitchen utensils). I used the handle of a garlic squeezer.

Fill each cavity with thick jam. I used thick lingonberry jam, it was perfect: the sourness of lingonberries complemented the taste of the sweet dough.

It is very important that the jam for Kurabye is thick. It is recommended to mix jam that is too liquid with starch, thereby thickening it.

If you don’t have thick jam on hand, you can use candied fruits or marmalade for decoration. Remember, the colored center in these cookies is more for appearance than taste. And if, in pursuit of a generous filling, we add runny jam, at high temperatures it will flow and turn the baked goods into porridge. No one wants such a result, right?

And now the most interesting moment of preparation: we turn the circles into flowers. Using a toothpick, draw petals on the chamomile (or rather, apply the toothpick to the dough and press, leaving a mark). This activity can easily be entrusted to children - give them an ocean of pleasure!

The future cookies are ready to go into the oven!

Preheat the oven to 200 C.

Kurabye cookies are baked for 10-15 minutes. I admit, I overcooked the cookies for this photo recipe; I should have taken them out earlier. I think that light cookies would be even closer in taste and appearance to the store-bought original!

After 10-15 minutes, remove the hot cookies and cool. We invite everyone at home to tea!

I will be pleased if you leave your review of the recipe. Happy to answer any questions you may have! Show me a photo of your cookies, it’s very interesting what kind of center you made and what they looked like (and tasted like).

Bon appetit!

Kurabye is always prepared from shortcrust pastry, that is, with fat. The cookies are crumbly, high in calories, tasty and there are many different types. The base most often used is butter or margarine. Fats are never melted, but only softened for better whipping. The dough is used immediately after kneading; it should not stand.

· sugar or powder;

To squeeze out the kurabiye, you need a pastry bag with a special star-shaped nozzle. You can use a large syringe designed for cream and filling eclairs. The cookies are placed on a baking sheet. Since it is fat-based, you don’t have to grease the sheet; it’s better to sprinkle it lightly with flour or just cover it with a piece of parchment.

The “middle” of a jam flower is placed in the center of each cookie. You can use any jam you like. If suddenly the product is liquid, then add a little starch to it, then nothing will spread. Kurabye is always baked in the oven. Temperature 200-220, this will take from 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the dough, size and capabilities of the oven.

Ingredients

· 0.5 tbsp. corn starch;

· 1.5 tbsp. flour;

· spoon of cocoa;

· 125 g butter;

· 0.5 tbsp. powders.

Cooking method

1. Mix oil with powder and egg. You don't have to beat anything for this recipe, but a mixer will make the job easier. Or just rub everything with a spoon.

2. In a separate bowl, mix flour (2.5 tbsp so far), baking powder, cocoa, coffee. You can put a little less of it if you don’t need a rich aroma.

3. Combine both masses, kneading soft dough. If necessary, add a little more flour.

4. Place the coffee dough into a bag and squeeze the flowers through the nozzle directly onto a baking sheet. Or just make round cookies. If desired, decorate with drops of thick jam or jam.

5. Bake kurabye coffee cookies at 200 degrees until fully cooked.

· If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can squeeze the dough out of a simple tight bag with a corner cut off. Another option is to simply roll the balls, place them and flatten them on a baking sheet.

· If the dough turns out thick, then under no circumstances add water to it. It’s better to put a spoonful of sour cream, mayonnaise, and a little cream. Plain water makes shortbread baked goods hard and the taste suffers.

· You can make kurabiye with a lot of filling. To do this, after squeezing out the flowers, you need to make a deep hole in each one and fill the hole with jam.
