- 1 dash Salt
- 80 grams Kabocha squash (seeds removed)
- 50 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 1 dash Salt
- 40 grams Sugar
- 1/2 Egg (medium)
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 1/3 tsp Baking powder
- 1 Kabocha squash seed
- 1 Black icing or
- 1 Decoration pen or melted chocolate
- Cut the kabocha into large pieces, microwave for 2-3 minutes until a bamboo skewer can easily pierce through.
- Remove the rind and mash to a paste.
- In a separate bowl, bring the butter to room temperature, gradually incorporate salt and mix until smooth.
- Add sugar in three batches.
- Beat an egg brought to room temperature, and add to the butter in three batches, making sure that the egg is well incorporated after each addition.
- Add the kabocha paste from Step 1 and mix.
- Make sure the kabocha is well cooled, otherwise the butter will melt!
- Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl, and cut the dough with a spatula to mix well.
- When the dry ingredients are well incorporated and the dough becomes shiny, it's done.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- When it has cooled and slightly hardened, divide into 5 portions and roll into balls.
- Sandwich the dough balls between parchment paper and use a cup or a flat surface to press down.
- Shape the flattened dough into a pumpkin shape, and stick kabocha seeds on the top to make a stem.
- Using a bamboo skewer or toothpick, draw lines.
- Bake in a 340F/170C oven for 20 minutes until they turn a light golden color.
- Once the cookies have cooled, use icing or a chocolate pen to draw the outline of the COOKPAD logo, and fill in.
