Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Set aside.
- Using a standing or handheld mixer, cream together butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
- Transfer to a work surface to knead the dough. Knead the dough for about 6 to 7 minutes, add a little milk at the time to make sure the dough is properly hydrated. Around 1/2 cup.
- The dough is ready when it's not sticky and it doesn't crack when forming the corico.
- Shape the coricos: When the dough is ready, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. (Just eyeball it or weigh them to 35g each. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Using your hands, shape the dough into a rope that is 5 to 7 inches long and gently press the ends together to make a ring or doughnut shape. Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet that has been prepared for baking.
- Bake the cookies for 20 to 30 minutes, until they feel set and the bottoms are golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them right on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store these coricos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
