Recipe story

Butter and sugar cookies made with the easiest recipe... They are perfect for serving guests because they come together so quickly. Don't forget a dusting of powdered sugar on top, then serve them with any hot drink.

Ingredients

Two cups flour, equivalent to 400 grams
One cup butter, equivalent to 200 grams
Half a cup powdered sugar
Half a teaspoon ground cardamom
Half a teaspoon vanilla

Method

Beat the butter and sugar very well until the sugar dissolves completely
Add the cardamom and vanilla, then the flour in stages until you get a soft, smooth dough
If the weather is cold, start working with the dough right away. If it is warm, refrigerate it for a while
Roll out the dough and cut or shape it as desired, then place the cookies on a baking tray
Put them in a preheated oven at 180 C and bake on the middle rack for a few minutes until they take on a very light color from the bottom
Turn on the top heat so they also take on a light color
Dip the cookies in powdered sugar before they cool completely
Serve the butter and sugar cookies once they have cooled and reached room temperature

Qatayef in all its forms is delicious, especially with a cheese filling. The soft batter makes it especially irresistible, and you can vary the fillings as you like. You can also control the amount of syrup to adjust the sweetness.
