This dough is really the easiest to make, and quite versatile too.
\nPlus it has no butter in it \u2013 what\u2019s best for a healthier and lighter breakfast or teatime treat?
\nThis dough is the starting point for a lot of different cookies \u2013 in the picture above I filled it with Nutella, but you could put anything into it (such as jam, for example). You may want a chocolate-flavoured dough too, you just need to add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder.
\nI also made a few with an almond in the middle, and sprinkled them with brown sugar and icing sugar to decorate.
\nIngredients are basic as well:
\n220 grams of plain flour
\n60 grams of vegetable oil
\n70 grams of sugar
\nHalf a tsp of baking powder
\n1 egg
\n\u2026 and this is it!
\nPut in a bowl the egg and the sugar and mix it well with the help of a fork. Then all\u2019s well mixed, add the oil and the baking powder. Stir again. Then start to add the flour, little by little. When the dough is elastic and doesn\u2019t stick to your fingers any more, it is ready.
\nWith a rolling pin knead the dough, about 1 cm high (or less if you want to fill the cookies with anything) and put into a preheated oven (180 degrees) for some fifteen minutes.
\nThis dough is great even for fruit tarts.
