Millefiori Cookie Recipe
I have a cookie recipe for you today, which looks difficult but actually has no difficulty other than handiwork; millefiori cookies. It takes its name from a glass forming technique. You can see exactly what kind of technique it is by searching Google images. Many of you already wear them as necklaces or bracelets, I'm sure the glasses made with this method right now. The adaptation for cookies is as follows; Cookie dough of different colors is rolled from the inside out and then sliced and baked.
Do not be intimidated, it is not difficult at all. You just have to follow the recipe step by step. Do not think about the future while taking a step. just focus on what you need to do at the moment. Also, some things are difficult to understand before starting to do them, but they can be understood by doing. This is one of them. It will be very confusing when you read the preparation part. But when you take the dough in your hands and start making it step by step, what you need to do will be fully formed in your mind.
By the way, you can also make colorful flowers by coloring the cookie dough with colorful food dyes. Since I do not prefer to use food coloring, I used cocoa as a kind of dye to obtain 2 different brown tones. You can also make different shapes as your creativity and dexterity allow. This is one of the most basic, simplest, most doable shapes.
In the meantime, I tried to shoot a video as much as I could during the production phase. It wasn't very successful as I took close-up shots by myself, but it is a very useful video in terms of guidance.
Enjoy the recipe...
