Lenten cookies "Endless possibilities"

Description

This recipe was born from me as a collective image. If the dough, which I use here to complement different fillings, there are endless possibilities. Depending on which jam to use it, add honey, add nuts or seeds, candied fruit or poppy - get a whole new taste. Hence the name. I hope you will not take it very seriously. I cooked it with spices and - as an option with the zest arelene (without honey and sugar). Both options I liked. In addition, the recipe can be used during Lent and spices that I used, will easily cope with the microbes that are alive in early spring. And also - to rid of stale jam! Easy you Post and not get sick!

Cooking

In this photo silicone mats, which is very convenient baking these cookies. If you don't have anything like that - use a special paper for baking...

If jam or honey you have a candied, it is better to dissolve heating at low heat on the stove. Do not boil, just slightly warm. My honey was zacharey but still in the comb, and as the jam old jelly red currant age changed their color. All this I heated and added sugar and vegetable oil...

Remove from the heat. Add a teaspoon of baking soda. She will be liquidated due to the acid jam.

The mass begins to foam, keep this in mind when choosing the dishes for the test. At this point, need to add spice, if you decide to cook with them. The amount of spices I pointed out to your taste. I like hot and spicy taste of this cookie, but if you don't like spicy - you can reduce the amount of spices or completely reject them. You can replace the spices with a zest of orange or lemon.

Gradually add the flour. Depending on the density and sweetness of the jam the amount of flour can vary, but I think you'll need at least 3 glasses...

The finished dough is quite viscous - density resembles cottage cheese. It rests on the spoon and a little stick to hands. At this point, if you did not add the spices - you can put in the dough the raisins, chopped candied fruit or nuts. Be guided by your taste. Table to pour the flour and put the dough.
