Use a large bowl because the dough usually turns out for 1.7 - 1.8 kg. of Softened butter and margarine RUB with sugar, salt and vanilla. Without fanaticism, just mix well, that's it.

Add eggs, mayonnaise, brandy and soda. Eggs can, of course, pre-beat slightly, but completely optional. A different amount of Mayo point, because usually take 1 package, and they are a little bit different. All delaminate, it's not scary.

Depending on the quality of flour, can go 6-7-8 glasses. Add flour until the dough no longer stick to the hands, and not formed into a ball. At the final stage most likely will have to postpone the spoon and domesti manually. 2 hours the dough put in the fridge.

With dressing cookies can do as you please: and roll out, cut out shapes of figures, and just divide into balls and flatten into washers. The thinner the cookie, the more crisp. I love average: 0.5-0.7 cm, then the inside will be soft layer. Depending on thickness of cookies and packing density, the output 3-4 of the pan. Grease the baking sheet with oil or covered with baking paper. Bake at 180-200 deg. 15-25 minutes. Now for the main event: remarks and additions. 1) In the original recipe of the cookie before baking was assumed to sprinkle a mixture of sugar and crushed nuts. Did, very tasty, recommend. 2) in Any case not be tempted to dispose of the whole stale in the refrigerator for the mayonnaise, if you put more than 250 grams. biscuits, it turns out oak. 3) Sugar can be put under: 0.75 to 1 Cup, so the taste is even more interesting. 4) I made different variants added to the dough cinnamon, cocoa, melted chocolate. All have been good. You can also make cheese biscuits: limit to 1 tbsp sugar, increase the amount of salt and add 200 grams of grated cheese. 5) one more thing: do not use only butter or only margarine. It turns out accordingly or too fat, or not enough delicious dough. 6) And most-most! The dough can be divided into fine portions and store in the freezer. The longer it is, Pesochnoe becomes. But more than a month can not guarantee, do not ever check. I hope nothing important is forgotten. Bon appetit.
