Cookie Cutter Recipe & Christmas Giveaway 造型压模饼干与圣诞佳节赠品活动 （中英食谱教程）

maydang.blogspot.com - Yesterday was the last day of school term for my little boy. When he came home, he was kind of sad as he would not be going back to the holding school where the Primary 1 and 2 students are attending this year due to the school construction of an indoor sports hall and classroom blocks at the main school campus. I know he would miss the Chess corner most as that's where he and his good friends would play chess (moving giant Chess pieces which are slightly shorter than the children but light weight) every morning before lessons starts.

I suggested baking some cookies together and that cheered him up. He was excited to use the Tovolo Numbers Fun cookie cutters which I have received recently. He enjoyed cutting out the shapes and using the template to press on the dough. We had a fun time baking and bonding together. Best, we love the cookies that we have baked using this recipe from a famous Japanese baker!

School holidays are here, how about trying this cookie cutter recipe with your kids and have fun baking cookies at home? Scroll down to find out how you can win yourself this set of Tovolo Numbers Fun cookie cutters and other Tovolo items.

(å–ä¹‹æ—¥æœ¬çƒ˜ç„™åå¸ˆæ‰‹æŠŠæ‰‹æ•™ä½ åšCookie)

Ingredients: (makes about 12 pieces of round cookies of 8cm diameter)

Plain Cookie:
60g unsalted butter 50g icing sugar (I reduced to 40g) Pinch of salt 25g egg or whipping cream * 125g cake flour (I increased to 140g)
Chocolate cookie: 60g unsalted butter 50g icing sugar Pinch of salt 25g egg or whipping cream * 125g cake flour (I increased to 130g) 10g unsweetened cocoa powder

* I used one 60g egg, divided into half, one portion for making the plain cookie and the other portion for making the chocolate cookie.

食材：（做12片直径8cm的圆形饼干）

原味面团材料: 60å…‹ æ— ç›å¥¶æ²¹ 50å…‹ 糖粉 (我用40å…‹） 少许 盐 25å…‹ 蛋液或鲜奶油 * 125å…‹ 低筋面粉　（我用140å…‹）
巧克力面团材料: 60å…‹ æ— ç›å¥¶æ²¹ 50å…‹ 糖粉 少许 盐 25å…‹ 蛋液或鲜奶油 * 125å…‹ 低筋面粉　（我用130å…‹） 10å…‹ æ— ç³–å¯å¯ç²‰

*我用1ç²’60克鸡蛋，打散分成两份，一半做原味，另一半做巧克力口味的。


Advance preparation work 事前准备工作: 1. Bring the butter and egg to room temperature. (Do not over softened butter. Gently press the top of butter with your finger, if an indentation remains but still hold the shape then it is perfectly softened. Beat the egg before weighing. )
1。 将奶油和鸡蛋恢复至室温。（奶油不要回温到太软的状态,只要手指压按有痕迹的程度就好，鸡蛋需先打散后再称量。)
2. For plain cookies, just sift the cake flour. For chocolate cookies, mix the cake flour with cocoa powder before sifting.
2。原味饼干只将低筋面粉过筛。巧克力饼干则是把低筋面粉和可可粉混合后再过筛。

Methods 方法： 1. In a large bowl. use a hand whisk to beat the butter till creamy before adding in the icing sugar. Beat till well combined before adding salt.

1。ç”¨æ‰“è›‹å™¨å¿«é€Ÿæ…æ‹Œç›†ä¸­å¥¶æ²¹è‡³ç²˜ç¨ ä¹³éœœçŠ¶åŽåŠ å…¥ç³–ç²‰，å‡åŒ€æ··åˆåŽå†åŠ å…¥ç›。

2. Add the egg or whipping cream in a few additions and beat till well combined.

2。分次倒入蛋液或鲜奶油并混合均匀。

3. Add in the cake flour or cake flour and cocoa powder mixture. Use a spatula to mix the flour in. Rotate the mixing bowl slowly as you mix into a cookie dough, press outwards.

3。åŠ å…¥ä½Žç­‹é¢ç²‰æˆ–ä½Žç­‹é¢ç²‰å’Œå¯å¯ç²‰，用括刀搅拌，混合粉类。 慢慢转动搅拌盆，括刀按压面团，由内向外挤压成团状。

4. Put the cookie dough into a plastic bag, use a rolling pin to roll it flat into a sheet of 18cm x 15cm x 0.7cm. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

4。将面团放入塑胶袋中，ç”¨æ©„é¢æ£æ†å¼€æˆä¸ºä¸€å¼ 18cm x 15cm x 0.7cm 的面皮。放入冰箱休息至少一小时。

5. Cut open the plastic bag with a pair of scissors. Sprinkle/dip the cookie cutter with some flour before cutting out shapes. Gather the remaining dough, roll flat and cut out more shapes. Place the cookies neatly on a baking pan laid with baking paper.

5。用剪刀将塑胶袋剪开，饼干压模沾一点低筋面粉，åœ¨é¢çš®ä¸ŠåŽ‹å‡ºé¥¼å¹²é€ åž‹。剩下的面团合成一团，æ†å¹³ç»§ç»­ç”¨é¥¼å¹²æ¨¡åŽ‹å‡ºé¥¼å¹²é€ åž‹。将面皮一片片整齐排放在铺上烤纸的烤盘中。

My son had great fun using the Tovolo Number fun cookie cutters to cut out the shape and used the templates to press on the cut-out dough. I gathered the small pieces of remaining dough and shaped into little flowers.

6. Bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celcius, top and bottom heat fan forced, for 10 to 12 minutes. (For my Brandt oven, I used the traditional pulse function and baked for 12 minutes.)

6。放入已预热的烤箱以150摄氏度上下火风扇烘烤10~12分钟。

7. Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes (to prevent breakage) before you transfer to a wire rack to cool down further.

7。从烤箱取出，饼干冷却5分钟后才可从烤盘移到凉网，ä»¥é˜²æ­¢ç ´è£‚。
