Mutekke Cookies

#Mutekke cookie is a traditional #Azerbaijani cookie. Mutekke which is called #bolster in English language is a long and narrow pillow filled with cotton or feather. By the way I have attached some photos of Mutekke in following photos. So name of this cookie come from their shape which resembles a traditional tube-shaped pillow which in old times of Iran, we used to use it as a pillow or back and arm support but nowadays, you can find them in small towns or villages.

Mix flour and salt. Add butter to the flour. Use your hand and mix butter with flour. Now your mixture looks like fine sands. Add sour cream and egg yolks.

Preheat the oven to 193C degree. After one hour, place one piece of dough on a floured board and roll it out into a circle.

* Step 6

I show two methods of cutting the dough: 1- you can cut a circle dough into 4 wedges and then each wedge to be cut into 2 more wedges, so you will have 8 wedges.

* Step 7

2- other method is roll out a dough into rectangle shape. Then cut lengthwise. And cut into triangle shape.

* Step 8

Now put 1 tsp or some of stuffing on each wedge and then start to roll it from wide side (as you see in the photos).

Repeat same process with rest of wedges. Place them in a parchment lined baking tray and bake the cookies for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let to cool before sifting with powdered sugar on top.
