4. Then sprinkle the working surface with flour and place the dough on it. Roll it into a rectangular layer with a thickness of no more than 0.5 centimeters. Then sprinkle the dough with two types of sugar, previously mixing them. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, since there is no sugar in the test itself.
5. Now roll the dough on both sides into roulettes, connecting them in the middle of the rectangle. Next, cut the resulting double roll into pieces about 1 centimeter thick. This is the future of cookies.

Cookies "Ears": editorial advice After cooking, it is better that the cookies cool slightly. Serve hot pastries immediately to the table is not worth it! By the way, I advise you to add cinnamon to the sugar mixture for sprinkling cookies. Then the ears will be even more fragrant.

And if you are ready for experiments, then cookies can also be sprinkled with coconut shavings or crushed nuts. Chocolate will do as well. I am sure that the taste palette of baking will only benefit from this!
