BOWTIE COOKIES (Chrusciki or Kruschiki) image

These European cookies are delicious no matter where they come from or how they are spelled. They are a fried cookie dessert and the meaning of the word is "dry cookie". These remind me of the Rosette cookies. I think you will enjoy this version.

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 large whole egg, room temperature
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c powdered sugar
1/4 c heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp rum or brandy
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp corn starch
canola or vegetable oil for frying
powdered sugar for garnish or cinnamon/sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the egg yolks, whole egg and salt in a bowl of mixer. Beat at high speed about 5 minutes , until thick and lemon colored. Beat in sugar, cream, vanilla and rum. Add flour and cornstarch and beat until blisters form, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Turn dough out onto a floured board, divide in half, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for about 20 minutes. Working with 1/2 the dough at a time, roll out to about 1/16 thickness,(kinda like rolling out homemade noodles). Cut 2-inch wide strips. Cut the strips on the diagonal at 4-inch intervals.(2x4-inch pieces)
  • 3. Heat about 3-inches of oil in a large, deep skillet to 350°. Make a slit in the center of each strip of the cut dough. Then pull one end through the slit to form a bow( sometimes called bow-tie cookies).
  • 4. Fry about 6 at a time for 1 minute or less per side or until golden. These fry quickly, so watch closely. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon/sugar mixture or a combination of all, or you may like to drizzle with a little honey.

These cookies were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

The dough was too sticky to work with. I had to add a lot of extra flour, which made the cookies tough.

These cookies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out thinly enough. The cookies ended up being a bit thick and chewy, but they still tasted good.

I'm not a huge fan of bowtie cookies, but these were actually really good. The dough was light and flaky, and the powdered sugar coating was the perfect amount of sweetness.
