CRUMBLY & FREEZER-FRIENDLY: The Perfect Savory Cookie Recipe (Professional Baking Techniques)

Описание: Welcome to Culinary Compass! Today, we are mastering the art of the perfect savory cookie—an incredibly delicious, crumbly biscuit that you can make in large batches and keep stored in your freezer for quick snacks or unexpected guests. This recipe guarantees a beautiful texture, thanks to key ingredients and careful preparation.

Achieving this professional texture requires precision. We emphasize the importance of adding flour slowly (totaling about 5.5 cups) and ensuring the dough remains soft, not tough. We also utilize a touch of granulated sugar and apple cider vinegar, which play a crucial role in achieving the signature crumbly shortbread consistency. Learn the technique for the beautiful outer coating by dipping the shaped dough first in a thin molasses wash and then into roasted sesame seeds. For those who prefer a simpler finish, we also show a variation using an egg wash and nigella seeds.
