Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 280g sugar
- 300g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp water
- Icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Beat eggs and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar crystals have completely dissolved, creating a smooth mixture. If needed, you can add a splash of warm water to help dissolve the sugar.
-
Add vanilla: Incorporate a splash of vanilla extract into the egg-sugar mixture, infusing it with aromatic sweetness.
-
Sift flour and baking powder: Sift the flour and baking powder together into the bowl, gradually incorporating them into the egg-sugar mixture. Stir until well combined, ensuring a smooth and homogenous dough.
-
Check consistency: The dough should be of a piping consistency, neither too stiff nor too runny. If it’s too thick, add a bit more warm water and gently mix until you reach the desired piping consistency.
-
Pipe onto baking sheet: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small, round shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for slight spreading during baking.
-
Dust with icing sugar: Sprinkle a generous amount of icing sugar over the piped dough, adding a touch of sweetness and creating a delicate, crispy crust as the cookies bake.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the Eierkoeken for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and puffed up.
-
Cool and enjoy: Once baked, remove the Eierkoeken from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. These delicious treats are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a cup of tea or coffee, or shared with friends and family for a delightful taste of Dutch tradition.
-
Store: Store any leftover Eierkoeken in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days, ensuring they remain soft and delicious for whenever you crave a sweet treat.
Indulge in the irresistible charm of homemade Eierkoeken, and savor the delightful flavors of this beloved Dutch delicacy. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or anytime you need a little sweetness in your day, these soft, fluffy cookies are sure to become a family favorite!
