Red food coloring | Butter |
Step 1
1 This recipe makes just 16 cookies with a diameter of 37mm. In order to prevent slag and deformation, the finished product will be hard and not crispy enough when baked. This recipe is also used to make birthday cake-shaped biscuits. Cut 70g of butter into small pieces and microwave it at the lowest setting for 1 minute, or in summer, soften it at room temperature for 30 minutes until you can press it into a small pit (do not soften it into a watery state, otherwise it will not turn white later). Sift in 40g of powdered sugar and mix well with a machine, then add 25g of half an egg yolk. Finally, add 140g of sifted low-gluten flour (key point, otherwise the finished product will have a grainy feel), and knead until smooth using gloves. (It’s best not to do it in winter, as the material is too hard and the finished product won’t be smooth when kneaded)Step 2

There are some cracks. The reason may be that you pressed too hard into the mold or the butter was too soft and not whitened. Chess Cookies Cooking Tips
