- I edited https://cookpad.com/en/recipes/146763-crispy-cut-out-cookies-that-you-can-cut-right-away for this recipe.
- Using that recipe you can make easy molded cookies.
- Take a look.
- Microwave the butter for 10 seconds.
- The butter should melt, but not be too hot.
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 180C.
- Add the cold milk, sugar, and vanilla essence to the butter, and stir them together.
- Divide the mixture equally into two bowls, and add the food colouring into one of the bowls.
- Mix 45g of the flour (or flour mixture) into each bowl.
- 60 g of cake flour, and 40 g of katakuriko will result in crisp and delicious cookies that are light.
- Prepare a pastry bag so the end is wide open.
- Put in the two colors of batter so they sit side by side in the bag.
- It is okay if they mix a little.
- If you have trouble getting the batter into the bag so it looks nice, try arranging the batter on a piece of plastic wrap.
- Roll the wrap around the batter and press the two colors together, but don't seal the ends of the plastic wrap.
- Now you can easily place the wrapped batter into the pastry bag.
- There is also the added benefit of not getting your pastry bag all dirty.
- Using a star tip, pipe out the dough into a spiral shape.
- Make sure the oven is preheated to 180C (356 Fahrenheit).
- You might want to decorate the center of the cookies with silver dragees, or other cute, edible decorations.
- Bake the cookies at 180C (356 Fahrenheit) for 13-15 minutes, until they are done.
- If you use a toaster oven they will brown more, but you can cook them at the highest setting for 10 minutes.
- I usedto make cookies for the Girl's Day Festival.The Japanese flavour is so yummy, and the cookies are easy to make.
- I made slightly more decorative cookies using.
- I recommend trying this.
- Some people have trouble piping out the roses, so here I will show you my method.
- I bought both of these tips at the 100 yen store ($1).
- I recommend using the pink tip, as the shape of the notches provides a sharper and cleaner shape.
- Start from the middle and pipe the dough in a spiral shape outward.
- I recommend weighing down your parchment paper so it doesn't move while you are piping.
- Squeeze out the dough, holding the piping bag about 1cm from the parchment paper.
- Once you have spiraled around once and are slightly past your starting point, stop squeezing and pull the bag away to break off the dough.
- If the end of the dough sticks out use a finger to gently pat it into place.
- If you squeeze too hard while finishing the spiral it may come out looking like this.
- Gently pull the bag away to break the dough~
- I recommend smoothing the end of the dough.
- Since the dough is difficult to break, the end is cleaner if you gently pull the bag away.
