Detailed Steps for Making Microwave Cookies
Prepare all ingredients. Start by preparing the flour. Why use egg yolks? Because it makes the cookies less hard.
Separate egg whites and yolks into a bowl, then add white sugar to the yolks and mix well. Sift the flour into a container and make a well in the center. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the flour and knead into a dough. If it feels dry, add some fresh milk to adjust the consistency to be moderately moist. Do not make it too wet, as it will be sticky and difficult to shape with molds.
When kneading the dough, be sure to slowly add milk, or it may become too runny.
After kneading the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 3mm. It must be even, or the cookies will vary in thickness.
Use cookie molds to cut out the cookies one by one, which is a slow process as each one needs to be done by hand. Dust some flour in a plate to prevent sticking.
Finally, place the cookies made with molds in the microwave. Brush a layer of butter on the bottom plate. Brush the cookies with egg yolk (this will make them look golden and more appetizing). Microwave on high for one minute, flip the cookies and microwave on high for another minute, then microwave on medium-high for two minutes. As microwave ovens vary, it’s best to keep an eye on them while baking.
