NanisCoffeeCookies

Nani don't do recipes. I do my best to preserve them but a lot of it is feeling your way through and doing what seems to make sense.

ingredients

• 1.5 cup sugar
• 12 eggs
• 12 Tbs baking powder
• 1 cup lard or 2 sticks butter
• 3/4 cup milk (warm and dissolve the ammonia baking powder)
• 20g ammonia baking powder (5/7oz by weight)
• flour

procedure

1. Briefly beat the eggs and sugar
2. Add milk, baking powder and continue beating
3. Add rest of ingredients except flour
4. Add flour slowly until a consistency slightly softer than bread dough

That's all I know. Ultimately the dough is shaped into lady fingers and baked. There is some sort of glaze that goes on top to give them a shine and the crumble is very fine. I assume there is some kneading involved before shaping the cookies.
