2. Powdered sugar cannot be replaced with soft white sugar and fine granulated sugar.
3. Beat the butter in a deep basin with the bottom attached. Use a spatula to scrape the butter when it cannot beat, and then continue to beat until the butter becomes larger in size and turns slightly white, then add the egg liquid.
4. I use unsalted butter here. If you use salted butter, you don’t need to add the salt in the recipe.
5. The egg beating basin must be free of water and oil.
6. Brown sugar must be sifted, as it is easy to mix unevenly with butter.
7. If you like dried fruits, you can add 50 grams of almond slices, no more, otherwise the dough will not be easy to shape and will break easily when cut.
8. Dough with brown sugar and cocoa powder will be darker in color during baking and will not be easy to bake.To see if it's done, look at the edges of the biscuits. If they get darker, it means they're done.
9. The cookies will be hard and crisp after cooling. If they are soft, the baking time will need to be extended.
10. Different brands of ovens have different temperaments. Please adjust the temperature and baking time appropriately.
