I have been wanting to try to make cookies for a change.
Jin Xiu has been really busy at work at at times is having late lunch. So I thought it would be nice if I make something for him to munch at work. Little did I know that I pack a week load of cookies for him, he finish them all in a day- that is what he said, but I think he got all of them in one sitting!
Vanilla melting moments
250g butter, soften
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (80g) icing sugar
1 1/2 cups (225g) plain sugar
1/2 cup (75g) cornflour
Butter cream
160g butter
1 1/2 cup (225g) icing sugar
2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 180C fan forced. Line tray with baking paper.
2. Beat butter, extract and sifted icing sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in combined sifted flours, in two batches.
3. With floured hands, roll 2-level-teaspoon of mixture into balls. Place balls about 3 cm apart on trays; flatten slightly with a floured fork.
4. Bake biscuits about 15 minutes or till a pale-straw colour- might need to watch it on the second or third batch, mine had a slight browned (cooked) colour. So maybe adjust temp or pull out from the over earlier.
Stand biscuits on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
5. Meanwhile, make butter cream. Beat butter, sifted icing sugar and rind in a small bowl with electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in juice.
6. Sandwich biscuits with a teaspoon of butter cream.
