Hey there, baking enthusiasts! Ready to whip up some delicious Dried Fruit Rice Flour Soft Cookies? Let's break it down into simple steps, perfect for beginners and cake decoration lovers alike.
Ingredients:
- 60g Frozen Refrigerated Hokkaido Yotsuba Butter No Salt
- 50g Daito Sugar Subaki Sugar
- 25g Egg yolk
- 30g Refrigerated Nakazawa Dairies Fresh Cream 45%
- 20g Cotta raw almond powder
- 100g Cotta rice flour for confectionery Mizuhochikara
- 45g Natural Kitchen Organic Dried Fruit Mix
- 10g Boiling water (for soaking dried fruits)
- Additional Cotta Rice flour for confectionery Mizuhochikara (for finishing)
How to Make:
1. Prepare the Dried Fruits: Chop the dried fruits coarsely. Add boiling water and let them steam until soft.
2. Soften the Butter: Place the butter in a bowl and soften it by heating it in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Be cautious not to melt it.
3. Mix the Butter with Sugar: Once softened, mix the butter with the brown sugar until creamy.
4. Add the Egg Yolk and Cream: Gradually add the egg yolk in two parts and then the fresh cream in three parts, mixing thoroughly each time.
5. Combine Dried Fruits and Other Ingredients: Mix in the almond powder and rice flour. When the dough starts to come together, add the steamed dried fruits and mix until evenly distributed.
6. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 180℃.
7. Pipe and Bake: Use a piping bag to shape your cookies. Bake them on a baking sheet lined with Silpat (or parchment paper if you don't have Silpat) at 170℃ for 12 minutes.
8. Cool Down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a ziplock bag to cool completely.
9. Decorate: Once cooled, you can start decorating your cookies with cake decoration techniques to add a personal touch.
Tips:
- If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more water.
- For the best results, divide the mixture into several batches and mix thoroughly each time.
- Remember, it's okay if the cookies don't turn out perfectly round; they're still delicious!
