Crunchy Halloween Cookies (No Cookie Cutter Needed!)
- 100 grams Kabocha squash
- 150 grams Cake flour
- 100 grams Unsalted margarine (or unsalted butter)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 Granulated sugar (for decoration, as desired)
- Combine the room-temperature margarine and sugar, and whisk until it has a white, mayonnaise-like consistency.
- Add the sifted cake flour and mashed kabocha and mix.
- Don't worry if it's still soft and sticky.
- Wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Wrap to whatever thickness you like.
- I rolled it in a 5 cm thick log.
- When it has hardened, sprinkle granulated sugar on top, roll to coat, and cut in about 5 mm slices.
- Arrange on a baking pan, and reshape the dough.
- Draw on the faces.
- This time I used a straw to poke the eyes and mouth, and a toothpick to make the lines of the pumpkin.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 360F/180C for 15 minutes.
- Once they're fragrant and crunchy, they're complete.
- For extra-scary cookies, I tried making Munch's "The Scream!"
