Butter Cookies [ms. Kong Teaches Cooking]

1.
The butter is taken out of the refrigerator in advance, and then softened at room temperature to a creamy shape, which can be easily removed with a spatula. (When making cookies, it is best to soften the butter at room temperature, because too much water is softened, and too much butter will also affect the cookie pattern.).

2.
First add 1 gram of salt, then add the caster sugar in twice, and pour in half first.

3.
Use the lowest level of the whisk, mix in the fine sugar, and stir until you can't see it.

4.

Pour in the other half of the white sugar and mix well with a whisk.

5.
Add 1 egg yolk.

6.
Continue to use the lowest level of the whisk to mix the egg yolks evenly. Make sure to mix well.

7.
The low-gluten flour is sieved twice and added. (The ratio of flour to butter is almost 1:1, which is one of the reasons why cookies are crispy.)

8.
Use a spatula to cut and mix well, the previous butter is softened in place, and the flour is easily absorbed by the butter.

9. Mix well with a spatula until the dry powder is no longer visible and stop. Do not over-mix. If the flour becomes gluten, the cookie pattern may disappear.

10.
Prepare a thicker piping bag, put on the piping mouth, and put in the butter batter. (Actually, it is not difficult to squeeze a beautiful cookie flower. The shape of the decorating mouth can be chosen arbitrarily, generally medium size 8 teeth/6 teeth are fine.)

11.
Spread tin foil on the baking tray and squeeze out cookie flowers.

12. Before squeezing the flowers, preheat the oven up and down to 150 degrees for 10 minutes. Put the bakeware in the oven after preheating.

13.


The oven temperature is set to 150 degrees, and the time is about 30 minutes. (There will be a temperature difference in the oven, so you need to adjust it according to your own oven to avoid over-bake.)

14.
The baking tray is taken out of the oven. At this time, the butter cookie is soft just after baking. Don't move it. When it cools at room temperature, it will become crispy. (After cooling, put it in an airtight jar at room temperature. Cookies cannot be refrigerated. After being refrigerated, they will become damp and soft. They must be stored at room temperature and can be stored for more than 2 weeks.)
