Ingredients

Step cooking

1. First you need to cook melange. Melange is a mixture of egg whites and yolks. According to the recipe, such a mixture should turn out to be 160 g. This is approximately 3.5 eggs of normal size or 3 pcs. large chicken eggs. To do this, break the eggs into a deep bowl and begin to beat with a mixer at low speed.
   
2. Gradually introduce powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat for 10-15 minutes, starting with a low speed mixer and gradually increasing them.
   
3. The resulting mass should increase by 2-2.5 times.
   
4. Next, sift the flour directly into the bowl and gently mix with a spatula.
5. You need to mix until smooth. The dough is thick.
   
6. We shift the dough into a cooking bag to set it off. The bag can be used with or without curly nozzles. If there is no bag, you can use a teaspoon.
   
7. We cover the baking sheet with baking paper and place the dough for future cookies on it, making small intervals, spread it out not thickly and in no case end-to-end.
   
8. Sprinkle generously with sugar on top. Leave for 2 hours.
   
9. After the crust has formed on the cookies, set the oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Once the cookies have browned, you can remove them.
   
10. When the cookies have cooled, you can enjoy a very airy, crispy treat that melts in your mouth like meringue.
