德国酥-German Cookies

During the last Chinese New Year , I was reading though some blog to have some idea for the chinese new year cookies. And I can across this cookie called German Cookies. The ingredients was super easy to find and easy to do as well.

The taste was nice, fluffy, crunchy ...and melt in the mouth too, just a lovely cookie to have during the Chinese New Year.

This recipe was takn from another blogger's post , and its a popular choice for the year of 2011 chinese new year. I bake this cookies 4 times for my mom, sister, relatives and of course my colleagues in office to taste. The feedback was good and out of my expectation...

So far there is no complain about this cookies, since everyone likes it. So let see how this cookies was made

All you need are the 4 items below

125 gram butter(unsalted) in room temperature
40 gram icing sugar
125 gram potatoes starch
80 gram plain flour / superfine flour

1.Preheat the oven 150'c
2.Cream the butter and icing sugar together until white and fluffy
3.Mix the starch and flour with the butter mixture and form into soft dough.
4.Scoop the batter using a teaspoon and roll into a small ball.
5. Arrange the ball into a baking sheet and press lightly with a fork.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheat oven for 20 minutes ( need not baked cookies until golden brown)


Notes
-To prevent the cookies dough stick on to the fork, dip the fork into the water before each use. This is very useful seriously.

- 9 to 10 grams each ball that makes 30 to 35 pieces.
