Melt-in-your-mouth margarita cookies

Overview

Margaret has a rather long scientific name: Miss Margaret who lived in Stresa, Italy. It is said that a pastry chef fell in love with a lady, so he made this dessert and used the lady's name as the name of this French dessert. Margherita biscuits are a typical European dessert. Its compact appearance, crispy texture and melt-in-the-mouth taste will impress everyone who tastes it. The reasons why I like it are not just because of the above. What I value is its super cute and honest appearance, which makes people feel pity at first glance. But after picking it up, they can't bear to put it in their mouth, for fear of destroying this simple and beautiful feeling. So after making it, I usually share it with everyone, or put it there to admire quietly and feel the peaceful beauty alone~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh the above ingredients separately using an electronic kitchen scale. Then soften the butter (just blow it with a hair dryer and stir it with a whisk).

   

2. 2 Add powdered sugar and salt to softened butter and beat until the volume is slightly expanded and the color becomes slightly lighter, as shown in the picture.

   

3. 3 Cook the eggs in advance, take out the egg yolks, sift into the whipped butter with a flour sieve, and stir evenly. (The egg yolks are sifted for a soft texture~)

   

4. 4 Mix the measured cake flour and cornstarch, sift into the butter, and knead it into a dough with your hands.

   

5. 5 The dough should be slightly dry but not falling apart. Wrap the prepared dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

   

6. 6 Take out the refrigerated dough, roll it into small balls with your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with tin foil (the editor prefers smaller ones, which look cuter and are more likely to produce beautiful cracks when pressed)

   

7. 7 Use your thumb to gently flatten them one by one, and beautiful cracks will naturally appear.

   

8. 8 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees, put the baking sheet into the middle shelf of the oven (be careful as it will be hot to your hands), adjust the baking setting, and set the time for 15 minutes. Pay attention to watching at all times. When the edges of the biscuits are slightly browned, they are ready to be taken out of the oven~
