Tuzlu Kurabiye(Salt Cookie) Recipe
Tuzlu Kurabiye(Salt Cookie) also known as Salt Cookie, is a savory Turkish treat that offers a delightful contrast to the more commonly known sweet cookies. These bite-sized, buttery cookies are flavored with various herbs and spices, making them a perfect accompaniment to tea or as a snack on their own. Here’s a recipe for Tuzlu Kurabiye:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Sesame seeds or nigella seeds for topping (optional)
Tuzlu Kurabiye(Salt Cookie) Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and paprika (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. You can flatten them slightly with the back of a fork or leave them as balls.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top of each cookie for added flavor and visual appeal.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the Tuzlu Kurabiye is ready to be enjoyed. Serve them alongside tea or as a savory snack.
Note: Tuzlu Kurabiye can be stored in an airtight container for several days, allowing you to savor their deliciousness over time. Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices according to your preference, adding flavors such as dried rosemary, cumin, or chili powder for a personalized touch. Enjoy the savory goodness of Tuzlu Kurabiye!
