And jumped like a little one on one leg.

It turns out that "Sheker Churek" in translation from Azerbaijani means "sweet bread". But this is not bread at all, but wonderful aromatic pastries, more like cookies.
During my childhood, sheker churek, along with other oriental sweets such as zemale, cinnamon pretzel, sheker puri, kozinaki, nuts, fried in sugar, etc., were sold in any bakery. By the way, are there still bakeries ??? So, this pechenyuga was sold by the piece, it cost, it seems, 19 kopecks (like ice cream), it was 10 centimeters in size, and it was difficult to eat it at one time. Due to the high cost or some other reason, most often these cookies were sold, to put it mildly, not very fresh, i.e. you will not bite. But the sweetness and vanilla aroma drew me to them like a bee to honey. And if you managed to buy fresh ones! mmmmm ....
So, for a thousand years I have not tasted sheker churek - my favorite cookie after Baku kurabye. And here is the recipe, and it seems quite simple. Well, how could you pass by.

To be honest, I didn't even think that everything would be that simple.


4 stacks flour
1 stack ghee
2 eggs
1 stack icing sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar
1 egg yolk for decoration

I melted about 300 g of butter - it turned out to be more than a glass. She poured the glass and cooled it. She poured a glass of powdered sugar and a bag of vanilla sugar into it, and mixed thoroughly with a wooden spatula. I added 2 eggs and mixed again.
Then she gradually poured the sifted flour,
Sevda writes that if you want to make the cookies more crumbly, then you need to add only yolks instead of 2 eggs, but then the amount of flour should be reduced to three glasses.
I did not reduce, and used all the ingredients. She kneaded the dough first with a spatula and then with her hand. It is very soft and pleasant to the touch. Rolled it into a ball, wrapped it cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Divided the dough into 15 pieces (it should have been 14, and then the cookies would have been larger) and rolled balls out of them. I put the balls on a baking sheet lined with paper and lightly pressed them down with my hand. I made a small depression in each ball and dripped a drop of egg yolk from a teaspoon.
Sheker churek was baked for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. In this case, the top of the cookie should not brown, but should remain light.

The cookies turned out to be very tasty, moderately sweet and aromatic. It is dense in texture, and at the same time crumbly. Sevda, thanks for the recipe! Wonderful cookies!

Shl. You can find recipes for sheker churek with yeast and soda, but it seems to me that this one is the most consistent with the original.
