peanut cookies
Roasted peanuts (beaten into peanut powder) 180g | Butter 380g |
Powdered sugar 200 grams | Low gluten flour 465 grams |
Whole eggs (about 3) 150g |
Step 1
The raw peanuts are roasted in the oven first. 160 degrees, about 10 to 13 minutes, adjust according to the actual situation of your own oven, do not waitJust bake it. After roasting, peel off the skin, and then beat into peanut powder. I put it in the GEM kitchen all-in-one machine to beat. You can also use a wall breaker or a food processor, just grind it into powder.Step 2
Because peanuts themselves contain oil, the powder they make is relatively wet, and it only needs to be fine.Step 3
As long as everything is in a delicate state. There is no need to add anything when beating.Step 4
First sift the low-gluten flour and peanut powder and set aside. Just sift the low-gluten flour like we usually do when making chiffon cakes. Peanut flour will be wet and sticky, so when sifting, you can grab a handful of your sifted low-gluten flour and mix it with the peanut flour. At the same time, it will be easier to sift this way, and the sifted product will be slightly drier and will not stick to your sieve wetly.Step 5
Butter is softened at room temperature in advance. If your place is relatively cold and the butter softens slowly, you can take it out the night before. You can also use the oven fermentation function to turn on 30 degrees to soften it. If you use the oven to ferment and soften, pay attention to the status. , the surface should not turn into water. The butter is softened, not liquefied! It is so soft that you can gently poke holes with your fingers. I originally recorded a video, but the video could not be uploaded.Step 6
Then beat the butter with a whisk until it is white, fluffy, and slightly expanded in volume. I used an electric whisk.Step 7
Add powdered sugar to the whipped butter (try to use powdered sugar, do not use coarse sugar. You can buy powdered sugar, or you can beat it yourself. If you beat it yourself, don’t beat too much at one time. You can also add a little cornstarch to prevent moisture. ). Then beat evenly. I used a manual egg beater from the beginning.Step 8
Divide againAdd the beaten egg liquid one at a time. Remember not to add the egg liquid all at once, but add it in 3 to 4 times. Each time you add the egg liquid, beat it evenly with a hand whisk. After the egg liquid and butter are completely absorbed and blended, add the next egg liquid until all the egg liquid is added.Step 9
This is a picture after adding egg liquid, everything is blended and absorbed.Step 10
Then add the sifted low-gluten flour and peanut flour, and mix evenly with a spatula until there is no dry flour and it is smooth. As long as the dough looks smooth, do not over-mix.Step 11
Put the mixed cookie batter into a piping bag. This batter is very easy to squeeze when it is made. I did not use a silicone piping bag, nor did I mention two bags. I just used the piping bag I usually use for making birthday cakes. If you have a silicone one or are afraid that it will not squeeze, you can use it. You can use silicone, or you can use multiple piping bags, whatever you like. I am using an 8-foot decorating tip today, model number is Sanneng 7092. If you decorate quickly, you can start preheating the oven at this time. If you are decorating slowly, you can also start preheating when you are halfway through piping. Basically, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to preheat a small household oven to reach the temperature we need, so you can basically start preheating when you start piping. The oven is hot. If the stove is preheated to 160 degrees. Preheat a household open-hearth oven to 180 degrees.Step 12
Pipe into the shape you like. I originally recorded a video, but couldn't upload it. This cookie is really easy to squeeze. I took the video with my phone in one hand and squeezed it with the other. I originally wanted to get a stand to shoot with the camera. I thought it would be convenient for shooting. After all, sometimes I am a lazy person. If you are making a small amount of 1/3 of the recipe, then the batter can be put into a large piping bag at one time. If you only put a small amount, the excess cake in the basinRemember to cover dry dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel. I just made 3 large plates, and then I forgot to cover it when I was busy, so some of the flowers would have jagged edges when piping them. However, this does not affect the taste of the food, but for friends who are more demanding, remember to cover it with a wet towel or keep it fresh. membrane.Step 13
Which decoration tip you use depends on what you like. Whether you bake one plate in the open oven or several plates in the wind oven, the flowers should be as consistent in size and shape as possible, so as to ensure that they are cooked in the same state at the same time. Squeeze them all. Fang Zi said at the beginning that a small household oven can make 1/3 of the amount, and a sixty or seventy-liter oven can make half of the amount.Step 14
I used an air oven to bake three large pans at the same time, baking at 140 degrees for 18 minutes, and finally baking at 150 degrees for 3 minutes for coloring. For household open-hearth ovens, it is recommended to use an upper heat of 165 and a lower heat of 150 degrees, and bake for 20 to 23 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. time temperature onlyFor reference, the specific temperature and time are based on the actual conditions of each oven.Step 15
After taking it out of the oven, place it on a drying net to cool, then seal it in a bag for storage.Step 16
Very crispy cookies. The cookies made with this recipe will not be sweet. If you like salty ones, you can add a few grams of salt appropriately.Step 17
You can taste the peanut flavor when you bite into it. Peanut Cookie Cooking TipsThe time and temperature mentioned in the recipe are for reference only. The temperature of each oven is different, and there are also big differences between wind and flat ovens. Follow the actual adjustments of your own oven.
The butter must be softened properly, remember not to soften it into liquid. If the butter is softened too much, it will turn into thin pancakes when baked and the pattern will not be clear. If the butter is not softened enough, it will be more difficult to squeeze.
Basically, there is no big problem when grinding peanuts into powder according to my instructions above. If you have any questions, please leave a message.
If the quantity is relatively large like the three trays I made, put part of it into a piping bag and pipe the flowers. Remember to cover the pot with plastic wrap or a wet towel. I forgot to cover it, so during the operation, some of it dried out and there were jagged edges. , but it does not affect eating. If you are more demanding, remember to cover it with a wet towel.
