Potato Cookie

Potato Cookie recipe image
These unique Potato Cookies are a delightful, old-fashioned treat that bridges the gap between savory dumplings and sweet pastries. Made primarily with flour, instant potato flakes, and eggs, the dough yields a remarkably soft and pillowy texture that is distinct from standard cookies. The potato flakes help bind the dough, keeping it moist and tender even after boiling. While traditionally served as a light dessert or snack, their mild flavor makes them versatile enough to accompany fruit compotes or sweet jams. They are an excellent way to use pantry staples for a comforting, home-style bite that feels both nostalgic and satisfying. Perfect for casual gatherings or a quiet afternoon tea.

Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Oil
  • 1/2 cup Boiling Water
  • 2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 To 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Betty Crocker Potato Buds
Directions
  1. 1
    Place the potato buds in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them; let stand for 10 minutes until softened, then mash if necessary.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  3. 3
    Add the oil, mashed potato mixture, and eggs to the flour mixture.
  4. 4
    Mix until a soft dough forms; add a small amount of water only if the dough is too dry to hold together.
  5. 5
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.
  6. 6
    Roll the dough out to an even thickness, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
  7. 7
    Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.
  8. 8
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  9. 9
    Carefully lower the dough circles into the boiling water, a few at a time, to avoid crowding.
  10. 10
    Boil for about 3 minutes, or until the cookies float to the surface and are tender.
  11. 11
    Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.
