🥘 Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 125g melted butter
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 packet baking powder
• Flour as needed, sifted

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the eggs in a saucepan filled with boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove immediately afterwards.
2. Quickly cool the eggs by running them under cold water from the tap, then peel and halve them. Separate the yolks from the whites and mash the yolks with a fork.
3. Mix melted butter and powdered sugar in a bowl, working the mixture until it has a smooth consistency. Add oil, mashed egg yolks, baking powder, and continue to work with your hands to incorporate all ingredients. Gradually knead sifted flour to form a soft and homogeneous dough.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface using a rolling pin, to a thickness of 3mm. Use a cookie cutter to cut hearts from the dough. Place the hearts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake the biscuits until they turn a light pink color.
