Ingredients
Scale
- 200g soft wheat flour
- 100g sugar
- 100g softened butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 150g chopped cooked turkey
- 100g raisins
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Choose the right temperature for golden and caramelized cookies.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and softened butter. Mix until you get a homogeneous dough.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Add the eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the chopped cooked turkey and raisins, and mix again.
- Spread the Dough: Spread the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie to prevent them from overlapping.
- Bake: Bake for 25 minutes. After that, take them out of the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut the Cookies: Slice the still-warm cookies. It’s important to let them cool a bit so they don’t break.
- Re-bake: Bake for another 10 minutes, until golden and caramelized.
- Cool and Store: Once ready, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- Do not overdo it with the dry ingredients: Make sure not to add too much flour or sugar, otherwise the cookies might end up too dense.
- Use softened butter: Softened butter is essential for tender and flavorful cookies.
- Don’t forget the lemon juice: Lemon juice adds a touch of freshness and aroma to the cookies.
- Feel free to experiment: Add nuts or dried fruit to your liking to make the recipe even more interesting.
