Crispy and Crumbly (and Easy) Cookies For Father's Day
- 200 grams Flour (cake flour)
- 120 grams Butter ( unsalted if you have )
- 1 Egg
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Granulated sugar for coating
- 1 dash Vanilla oil
- Sift the cake flour twice.
- I always use this confectionery flour that doesn't require any sifting.
- If you use it, you don't need to sift!
- Take the butter out of the refrigerator and cut up into pieces.
- Place in a heatproof dish, wrap with plastic wrap, and heat at 600 W for 40~50 seconds until almost melted.
- Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a bowl and mix until white and fluffy.
- It'll become white like this.
- It's okay if the crunchy texture of the sugar remains.
- Mix the beaten egg well in 2~3 portions.
- Next, add vanilla oil to taste.
- Add the cake flour to Step 6 and use cutting motions to mix together with a spatula.
- Press the dough into the bowl while mixing.
- When it's no longer powdery, it's ready.
- Divide the dough into 2~3 portions.
- Lay out a long strip of plastic wrap, then set a long, thin, 2 cm diameter cylinder of dough on top, and roll it up to wrap.
- Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap closed into a cylinder shape, making it hard to crumble.
- If you have a cardboard tube, slide it through the tube and chill in the tube so that it keeps its shape.
- Variation You can divide the dough and add cocoa powder, chocolate chips, or raisins and such.
- This time, I divided it into 3 portions to make a butter, a chocolate chip, and a raisin variety.
- The raisin cookie dough cylinder needs to be a bit fatter.
- Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but if you can let it chill for half a day, it will be even more delicious.
- If you don't have much time, just an hour is okay.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C.
- Remove from the refrigerator, open the plastic wrap, and coat the dough with granulated sugar on top of the plastic wrap.
- If it's hard to get the sugar to stick, you can brush some water on the dough's surface.
- Once coated with sugar, slice into 1 cm thick slices.
- Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment paper and arrange the cookies with space between.
- Once the oven has finished preheating, bake at 180C for 10~15 minutes.
- Please adjust the baking time according to your oven.
