Jenny Butter Cookies Copycat

November 12, 2016 at 2:55 pm · Filed under cookies ·Tagged ,

This is the original recipe without the matcha, using Pamplie salted butter thus salt is omitted from the ingredients list too. Awesomeness!

img_3699This version is copycatted from Ms Tam Chiak😛

Ingredients
200g butter (I used La Belle unsalted)
50g icing sugar, sifted
50g plain flour
100g wheat flour (or top flour) [I used low protein flour or superfine flour]
50g corn flour
5g matcha powder
1/2 tsp fine salt

IMG_3693.JPG

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 160C.

Cream butter and gradually add in the sifted icing sugar and beat till pale and fluffy.

Sift plain flour, superfine flour, salt, matcha and corn flour twice.

Add flours all at once into the creamed butter and using low speed, mix until a soft dough is formed.  Do not over mix or the dough would be too soft and you will end up with flat cookies!

Put the dough into a piping bag with a piping nozzle and pipe directly on to the baking sheet lined with baking paper or silicon mat.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the cookies turn light golden brown at the bottom.

Leave it to cool on a cooling rack before storing them in air-tight container.

Copycat Butter Cookies
largely adapted from Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids

Ingredients:

100g salted butter, preferably the canned kind (I used french butter Elle)
30g icing sugar
85g bread flour (recommended with 12.5% protein)
15g corn flour
1 tsp vanilla extract (my addition)

The way I did mine using my Kenwood stand mixer:

1. Beat slightly softened but still cold butter with icing sugar for 1 minutes on medium speed. Add in vanilla extract half way through.
2. Add in sifted flours all at once and beat on low until fully incorporated (about 30 seconds).
3. Remove mixing bowl and use a spatula to mix batter until smooth.
4. Transfer to piping bag fixed with star nozzle and pipe out cookies.
5. Bake at 160C on middle rack until cookies are no longer shiny before reducing temperature to 140C and continue baking until golden brown. Mine cookies too about 30 minutes to bake.

Purple Yam Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

250g butter, take out and leave it to thaw at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
195g Potato Starch
20g Purple Yam Powder
150g All Purpose Flour
70g Icing Sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

IMG_1983

Use a stand mixer to cream butter and icing sugar until creamy (about 2 minutes at medium speed-Kenwood mixer speed 4) before adding vanilla and salt, beat a few seconds then add the sifted flours and mix about a minutes with mixer on lower speed before switching to spatula mixed until dough is evenly combined.

Transfer some dough into piping bag fitted with piping nozzle and pipe out cookies on to baking sheet.

Baked at 145C for 40 minutes or according to your preference on the color of your cookies.

These cookies are easy to handle without leaving much crumbs, yet melt in mouth and crispy at the same time. Not to mention, the colour is beautiful!

green peas cookies

January 22, 2016 at 3:42 am · Filed under Anything about food, cookies ·Tagged , ,

IMG_0297.JPG

Rolled into balls, less crumbly

IMG_0286

Cut this way is more melt in mouth and crumbly, no idea why

Ingredients:

160ml peanut oil – may need more if dough is dry
1/4 teaspoon salt
110g icing sugar, sifted
250g plain flour, sifted
250g grounded green peas  – or make your own by grinding ready to eat green peas
1 egg yolk, beaten lightly, for egg wash (optional)

IMG_0284.JPG

This is the green pea powder that I used

Method:
1. Combine oil, salt and icing sugar in the bowl of an stand mixer and beat on low speed to dissolve the salt.

2. Add sifted flour and green peas and mix on low speed to form a soft, pliable dough. Remove and knead with hands to make sure the oil is evenly distributed. If dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of oil at a time and knead into the dough.

3. Preheat oven to 170C.

4. Shape dough into little ball of 8g each. Use a chopstick to poke holes into the centre of each ball.  Alternatively, roll dough into 3/4 cm thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place on baking pans and brush with egg wash if you wish.

5. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing in airtight containers.

No egg wash to cover the nice green look, the only reason why I am baking these cookies

This recipe is adapted from Messy Witchen who adapts from Debbie Teoh (Flavours Magazine Jan-Feb 2009)
