My Favourite Butter Cookies – Happy New Year to all my dear Subscribers and Friends! I hope to bring you more wonderful treats recipes. I do understand cookie recipes are very easy with simple few ingredients. However, the precision of ingredients and method used will result in the outcome you desire. So here is my favourite version of butter cookie recipe. Enjoy!
FULL RECIPE:
FAQ: Why my cookies flattened while baking in the oven?
It might be due to the butter's condition. The consistency is very important if you're piping these cookies. Solution: You can fold in 1 or 2 tbsp of flour, then check if the consistency is slightly thickened. Do not over add the flour. Another way is after piping, you can pop them into the fridge for about 30min, just to hardened it a little, then bake it. If you find after adding 1 or 2 tbsp of flour is comfortable you can bake it straight away.
Ingredients:
this recipe yields about 20-22 cookies
113g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
60g (1/4 cup+1 tbsp) fine sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
125g (1 cup) cake flour
16g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
Piping tip: 1M
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven at 170°C/340°F.
2. In a large bowl, add the room temp (or softened) butter. Add sugar and salt. Mix them using a spatula so that the sugar the fly out. Then switch to an electric mixer. Mix until creamy, pale and fluffy.
3. Add the yolk, cream and vanilla extract. Mix till combined.
4. Sift the cake flour and cornstarch in 2 batches. Fold in using a spatula. Sift the remaining dry ingredients until the flour disappear.
5. Transfer the dough into a piping bag. I am using 1M tip. Double up the piping bag if yours is thin like mine. A thin piping bag will cause breaking of the bag. Also it will ease your piping.
6. Bake in preheated oven at 170°C/340°F for about 15-18 min. For 15min, the cookies might be softer than 18min bake, so it really depending on how crispy you desire your cookies to be.
7. Let it cool completely.
8. Cookies are ready to serve.

Gingerbread Toaster Pastries
Makes 8 servings
These pastries are perfect for breakfast or an after-school snack, but they’re also a sweet enough treat for a cozy dessert. You can make them a few days ahead, and then gently reheat them in the oven, toaster, or toaster oven.
2 1/2 cups plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup ice cold water, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. In a large bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups flour and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until it is walnut-sized clumps form. Drizzle the water a few tablespoons at a time over the flour mixture and mix just until the dough comes together. You may not need all of the water, or you may need to add another tablespoon or so if it is too dry.
2. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine sugar, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and the remaining 1 teaspoon flour. Set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and rest until it is pliable, about 15 minutes. Working on disc at a time, on a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle that is about 14 by 10 inches. Trim the edges to make a neat rectangle, then cut the dough into eight even rectangles.
5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture onto the center of four rectangles. Brush the edges of the rectangles with water and top each with one of the other four rectangles, fully covering the filling. Use a fork to seal the edges and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. Use a sharp knife to score three slits in the top of the pastries. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the dough is matte all over, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
