Sequilhos are delicious and crunchy cookies, ideal to accompany coffee or tea. These sequilhos are perfect for a snack or to accompany a hot drink. They are simple to make and delicious! I hope you enjoy the recipe. Here is a simple and tasty recipe for homemade sequilhos:
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (or margarine), at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Crystal sugar (for sprinkling)
Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough is well incorporated and smooth.
- Shape the Sequilhos:
- Using a teaspoon or small ice cream scoop, shape the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each cookie lightly with a fork or the palm of your hand to form discs. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each cookie for a crunchy, sweet finish.
- Bake the Sequilhos:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the sequilhos are lightly browned around the edges. They should be firm to the touch but still soft in the center.
- Let it cool:
- Remove the sequillos from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Texture: If you prefer crispier sequilhos, let them bake a little longer until they are golden brown all over.
- Variants: Try adding lemon or orange zest to the batter for a citrusy twist, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
