Ingredients shirini morabaii:

 How to prepare shirini morabaii with the old method:

1. First, pour the butter that has reached room temperature into the bowl, and then mix the powdered sugar with it.

With a spoon, mix the butter and powdered sugar together. Then, mix the ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth, and It becomes uniform and white.

2. After the mixture of powdered sugar and butter becomes uniform and becomes creamy, add eggs and vanilla and mix the ingredients again with a mixer.

3. After that, we sift the flour. Pay attention, I sift the flour in three steps until it becomes uniform.

In each step, we pour some sifted flour and then we mix it again with the ingredients. In the last step, we also add baking powder along with the flour.

4. Then, we mix all the ingredients with our hands and knead. We continue this until a soft and uniform dough is provided.

After that, put the dough in a plastic bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

5. After the dough is ready, take it out of the refrigerator, open it, and start rolling it out with a rolling pin. After the dough is completely opened, we start molding it.

6. In the molding step, you can use different molds according to your taste. I use a round and heart mold. After molding, transfer the dough to the grease-proof paper that you have placed on the oven tray.

For the second mold, in the middle, be sure to make holes in the dough. For this, you can use a smaller mold or the lid of a soft drink bottle.

7. Knead the corners of the dough and the pieces of dough together again, flatten, and mold.
After molding the sweets, transfer them to the oven at 180 degrees Celsius. The baking time is between 15 and 20 minutes.

8. After the specified time and the cookies are cooked, let them cool down completely and reach the ambient temperature.

After cooling, put aside the cookies without holes and decorate the cookies with holes with melted chocolate. If you want, you can add pistachio powder.

9. Then, we fill the cookies without holes, which we put in the lower part of the cookie, with strawberry marmalade or cherry jam as desired.

10. I put the shirini morabaii in the refrigerator for 45 minutes until they are ready, and after 45 minutes we take them out of the fridge.

The shirini morabaii is ready, and you can eat them with Persian tea or sour cherry tea.

Notes shirini morabaii:

• To work more cleanly, use a funnel instead of a spoon to pour jam or marmalade on the pastry.
• To decorate the cookies, you can use pistachio powder, coconut powder, sesame seeds, pistachio nuts, marigold flowers, almonds, or truffles.
• For the pistachio and coconut powder to stick better on the cookies, smear the surface of the cookie with honey or marmalade with a pen so that the powder easily sticks to them.
• For intermediate ingredients, you can use various types of marmalade or jam, cherry jam, carrot jam, or citron jam.
• Be sure to use grease-proof paper on the bottom of the tray so that the cookies can be removed more easily.
• If the dough stays in the fridge too long, it will dry out the pastry.
• Be careful not to pour too much jam on the side of the cookie because it will make it stick out and make the appearance ugly.
• You can use melted milk and chocolate.
• Shirini morabaii despite being a dry cookie, should have a soft texture. The reason for the drying of Mashhadi sweets or any other sweets can be one of these three reasons: lack of oil, too much stirring of the pastry dough and adding too much liquid such as water or milk to it, and of course, sometimes the high temperature of the oven.

Vitamin C (Acid ascorbic) acts as an antioxidant in the body, meaning it protects our cells from damage by free radicals (cigarette smoke, air pollution or too much sun). Since Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it is not stored in large amounts in the body so you need to replace your vitamin C stores daily.

Raw fruits and vegetables can add a bit of vitamin C to your daily intake, but fruit jams have even more. Although cooking reduces the amount of vitamin C in any food, it also reduces the volume, so you’ll get more vitamin C per cup of jams. Adding 1- 2 spoons of fruit jams is a great and simple way to boost your vitamin C intake if you struggle to get enough from your diet.
