First time making Butter Cookies, please note these are NOT typical American cookies (which I think they lack of appearance). CINDY meow meow grew up eating lots of European cookies; they can be baked in different shapes.
One thing I love home-baking is that all ingredients are in controlled. I don't like food colour and food additives from commercial baking products. Besides, it is wonderful to watch all the raw ingredients turning into a final edible shape. I really do enjoy that.
As always, I am hunting for "cat-shaped' collectible items, in this case >> "Cat-shaped" cookie cutter. So please let me know if you ever come across with such cute items.
CINDY meow meow brought about 30-pcs to a potluck party. We were drinking Martini & enjoying all these yummy cookies. What a fun food & beverage combination !!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 杯 牛油；1 Cup butter, softened
- 1 杯 白砂糖；1 Cup granulated white sugar
- 1 茶匙 雲呢拿香精油；1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 茶匙 杏仁香精油；1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 隻蛋；1 egg
- 2 茶匙 泡打粉；2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 杯 麵粉（for cake & pastry)；3 cups all purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
- 焗爐預熱至350°F （Preheat oven to 350° F）
- 混合牛油及砂糖至鬆軟 （In the bowl of your mixer cream butter and sugar until smooth
- 加入雞蛋﹠兩種香精油 （Beat in extracts and egg）
- 在另一大容器 混合泡打粉﹠麵粉 並逐漸加到牛油雞蛋混合物裡 如果麵團變得很實很硬 把麵團從搞拌器拿到工作檯（先洒點粉）再用手搓至平滑柔軟（手要濕一點水） （In a separate bowl combine baking powder with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. If it becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface. Wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand）
- 用麵棍把麵團弄至1/4吋厚 再用曲奇餅模印切麵團 (Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut （1／4 inch thick)
- 焗約15分鐘 將烤盤置於架子上，待曲奇涼透（Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.）
