Here's what you can prepare:

Lenten brine cookies

Delicate, light, very pleasant cookies. The cucumber pickle, which is the basis of this delicacy, is completely impossible to recognize in baked goods. No one will guess what you baked this sweet miracle from unless you tell them yourself. Very profitable cookies in all respects: they are prepared easily, from almost nothing, and the result exceeds all expectations. A real find for thrifty housewives who use any leftovers!

For these cookies we will need:

• Cucumber or tomato brine – 1 cup.
• Sugar – 1 glass.
• Refined sunflower oil – 1 cup.
• Vanillin – 1 sachet.
• Soda – 1 level teaspoon.
• Vinegar – 1.5 teaspoons.
• Flour. It is difficult to say exactly how much flour will be used in this case. Much depends on the quality of the flour, its moisture content, and even the humidity level of the room in which the baked goods are prepared. Therefore, just in case, take 500 g of flour; during the cooking process it will be clear how much it will take.

Preparation procedure:

Pour sugar into a deep bowl.

Pour in the brine.

Stir everything thoroughly with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Now add vegetable oil.

Start adding sifted flour in small portions, kneading the batter. The consistency should resemble mayonnaise.

Like this:

Add vanilla.

Quench the soda with vinegar and pour into the dough.

Stir everything well. Now very carefully, little by little, add the remaining flour to the mixture, kneading the already stiff dough with your hands.

Be careful not to overdo it with flour. The dough should be thick, mold well, but remain elastic and not dry.

Roll out the finished dough into a layer 0.8-1 cm thick and cut out the figures using any mold or glass.

Place the cookie dough on a baking sheet and brush each one with strong, sweet tea leaves.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Banana Lenten Cookies

Incredibly exquisite cookies with a noble exotic taste. There is no shame in serving such a delicacy even to guests. Be sure to try it, and most likely you will want to cook this miracle not only during Lent.

Prepare the necessary products:

• Bananas - 2 medium fruits.
• Honey – 1 full tablespoon.
• Sugar – 100 g.
• Unscented vegetable oil – 120 ml.
• Soda - 1 teaspoon.
• Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons.
• Flour – 250-300 g.

Tip: it is very good to replace refined sunflower oil with corn oil in this recipe. Its subtle sweetish aroma perfectly sets off the exotic taste of bananas.

Preparation:

Break the peeled bananas into pieces and place in a bowl.

Add honey and sugar there.

Now gently mash the banana pieces together with the additives into a single mass with a fork. Under the influence of sugar and honey, the fruit crumples very easily, and you don’t have to bother with a blender.

Pour in lemon juice.

This is what you should end up with lemon-banana puree.

Its aroma just makes your mouth water, but don’t rush, the base for the cookies is not ready yet, so you shouldn’t try the puree too much - you risk eating everything clean.

So, now pour vegetable oil into the banana mixture,

add soda (there is no need to extinguish it, since the puree already contains lemon juice) and mix everything well again.

Sift the flour and add it to the banana puree in small portions, kneading a thick dough.

Do not make the dough too stiff; its consistency should be quite soft, so that it can barely be molded. As soon as the dough stops sticking to your hands, do not add more flour.

Now form the dough into small balls.

Place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

Bake in the oven at 180-200 degrees for 20 minutes, but be careful not to burn the delicacy.

The finished cookies turn out incredibly tender and crumbly.

Ginger crumbly cookies

Plus, baking with a mixture of different flours is incredibly healthy.

Let's start baking:

To begin, place all the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, starch, sugar, salt, baking powder, cocoa and spices.

Mix everything. Add jam.

Pour in vegetable oil. Knead a stiff dough. If the dough turns out too dry and crumbles, pour 1-2 tablespoons of water into it.

Roll the finished dough into round balls the size of a walnut.

Place the balls on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Press 1 almond nut into the surface of each ball, slightly flattening the ball itself into a hemisphere.

Bake in the oven at 190 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Add raisins to the dough and knead everything properly again.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Now, wetting your hands in water, pinch off a small piece of the dough and form thick cakes, placing them on a baking sheet.

Knead everything well again.

Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place small oatmeal cakes on it, forming them with wet hands.

Housewives are often mistaken, thinking that Lenten cookies are not tasty and prepare them only based on their beneficial qualities. But by adding various ingredients you can refute all doubts. The beauty of such baking is the speed of preparation and the minimum set of products that can easily be found in the kitchen. It doesn’t matter if it’s fasting or if you just decided to please your family with a new product, let’s prepare dessert.

Let's start with lemon cookies that are sure to please everyone.

Let's take:

• 50 ml vegetable oil;
• ½ tsp. soda;
• 400 g flour;
• 1 lemon;
• ½ tbsp. Sahara.

You can write down the recipe for quick lemon cookies in your cookbook if you are afraid of forgetting.

We thoroughly rinse the lemon with a brush under running water and, without removing the skin, cut it into pieces. In this case, all seeds should be removed.

To get rid of the bitterness that lemon can impart to a dish, put it in sweet boiling water for 15 minutes.

Using a blender, turn everything into a paste. First add soda here, which will immediately extinguish. Next add sugar and butter.

We begin to knead the dough, gradually adding flour. Let him rest for a while. Having sprinkled the table, roll out and cut out cookies of any shape. To make it more colorful, you can sprinkle sugar on top.

Bake for no more than 10 minutes in a preheated oven.

Recipe for cucumber pickle

We often pour out the remaining liquid from pickled cucumbers, but in vain. Try to find a use for it.

Cookie products:

• a glass of granulated sugar;
• 6 tbsp. l. olive oil;
• 500 g flour;
• a glass of any brine;
• 1 tsp. soda

When starting preparation, the liquid from the jar must be strained so that the spices used in the marinade do not get caught. Pour the baking soda in here.

If you are using a brine other than pickled vegetables, then quench the soda with vinegar.

Pour in sugar and wait for it to dissolve. Add oil and start adding sifted flour. Roll out the layer and punch out shapes with molds.

Bake on a sheet lined with baking paper until browned. You can decorate the brine cookies by sprinkling them with powdered sugar.

Cooking with pumpkin

Let's try to bake a healthy pumpkin dessert.

Set of required products:

• ¼ tsp. salt;
• 100 g sugar;
• ½ tsp. soda;
• 200 g pumpkin (pulp);
• 2 tbsp. l. sunflower oil;
• ¼ tsp each turmeric and cinnamon;
• 2 tbsp. flour;
• 1 tsp. vinegar.

Grind the vegetable pulp. To do this, you can use a grater, meat grinder or blender. Mix all dry ingredients, and quench the baking soda with apple cider vinegar.

In order to add beneficial properties to the liver, it is enough to enrich the composition with 15 g of bran, raisins or nuts.

Knead the dough with your hands until the consistency is dense. We will roll the balls with our palms, pinching them off and placing them on a greased baking sheet.

After 20 minutes in a hot oven (at 180 degrees), you can take them out and cool them.

Lenten oatmeal cookies

Since childhood, everyone has known the taste of this cookie. But, you can bake it at home.

We only need:

• 3 tbsp. l. honey;
• Art. oatmeal;
• 6 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg;
• Art. flour;
• ¼ tsp. salt;
• 50 ml water;
• ½ tsp. cinnamon and soda.

We begin preparing the dough for lean oatmeal cookies by mixing honey, water and butter. To do this, heat the mixture over low heat. Stirring all the time with a spoon or spatula, pour in the soda first, which should be extinguished, and then nutmeg, salt and cinnamon.

Add the flakes with flour and knead the mixture. It will turn out a little sticky. Leave, covered with a bag, for half an hour.

This is done so that the oatmeal is saturated with moisture and swells.

With hands dipped in water, roll the balls, place them on a sheet covered with parchment and press down a little.

Place in the oven for 25 minutes.

Chocolate treat

No one will definitely refuse this berry treat.

Ingredients:

• ½ tbsp. any jam;
• ½ tbsp. cocoa;
• ¾ tbsp. granulated sugar;
• Art. flour;
• 1/3 cup refined oil;
• ½ tsp. salt;
• 1 tsp. baking powder.

Place all dry ingredients in a large cup and mix well. Add jam, butter and knead into a plastic dough.

It often happens that there is not enough flour or, conversely, a lot. Therefore, its quantity can be controlled as the dough is kneaded.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and carefully place the already formed cookies. Just 12 minutes is enough to bake it. Cool.

With banana

To prepare Lenten cookies you need:

• overripe banana;

• Art. l. vinegar;

Peel the banana and cut into small pieces.

To prevent it from darkening, immediately sprinkle with lemon juice.

Fill it with granulated sugar and pour in the butter. Beat the mixture a little with a mixer. Separately mix the flour with cardamom, and add the sorted and washed raisins. We extinguish the soda with lemon juice.

It is better to soak the raisins in hot water in advance so that they maximize their taste.

Mix all the prepared ingredients into a dough. Place with a large spoon onto a sheet covered with parchment. It bakes for about 10 minutes. The smell will spread throughout the house, but it is better to eat it chilled.
