Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: 100g low-gluten flour, 100g cornstarch, 100g butter, 2 cooked egg yolks, 60g powdered sugar

   

2. 2 Start baking. The butter needs to be taken out of the refrigerator and started to soften. Because it takes a while to soften, take it out at the beginning, and then start other steps while waiting for it to soften. When the butter softens, you can start boiling eggs. Here I use cold water. In the pot, the water should cover the eggs. After the water boils, cook for another 8 minutes. Take it out and set aside. When the eggs are cooked, the butter has basically softened. We add white sugar to the softened butter and beat it with a whisk until the volume begins to expand and become fluffy.

   

3. 3 Remove the egg yolk and take it out. At this time, I usually eat the egg white directly with fresh soy sauce (it tastes very good, and it can also satisfy the craving). After taking out the egg yolk, crush it. I am lazy, so I just press it with my fingers a few times and it is OK. Add the broken egg yolk to the whipped butter

   

4. 4 At this time, low-gluten flour and cornstarch can be added

   

5. 5 After adding it, you can knead it into a dough with your hands. It is best not to wear gloves. I have worn them, and it is very uncomfortable and difficult to operate because I made it myself, so as long as you make sure your hands are clean, it will be ok. The kneaded dough should be slightly dry, not too wet. Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. It can be longer. I forgot to make it once and took it out after half a day. The taste is basically the same. The picture I have here is actually enough to make 10 plates of cookies. Because everyone thought it was delicious, I made more to share with my friends. Kneading into dough means kneading all the flour into a dough

   

6. 6 Take out the kneaded dough, pinch off a piece and roll it into smaller balls. Just like this, a small round is equal to a cookie.

   

7. 7 Place the small dumplings on the baking sheet and press them with your hands until they are flattened. Note that the thickness of each dumpling should be close to each other, otherwise some of them will be cooked and some may not be cooked yet.

   

8. 8 Now it’s ready to go in the oven, blah blah blah! ! ! ! Place in the middle rack of the oven, 170°C. My oven generally bakes for 9 minutes. Different ovens have different baking times. You need to understand the "temperature" of your own oven. Pay attention to the surface of the cookie. When the surface starts to turn a little yellow, turn off the heat and take it out after a few minutes.
