Sugar-filled Cookies
These sugar-filled cookies feature a soft dough enriched with coconut and lotus root powder, wrapped around a sweet red bean paste center.
Geschichte
The dough comes together easily with vegetable oil and coconut, creating a tender wrapper for the red bean paste filling. A generous layer of granulated sugar pressed onto the surface gives the cookies a delightful crunch, while a few goji berries add a colorful finishing touch.
Zutaten
Anleitung
Step 1
Pour white sugar into the vegetable oil and mix well.
Step 2
Pour in lotus root powder and mix well.
Step 3
Add eggs in batches, beating until pale.
Step 4
Pour in coconut flakes, mix well until it forms a thin batter.
Step 5
Sift in the flour.
Step 6
Gather into a soft dough, adjusting the flour amount according to the absorbency of your flour; the dough softness should be comparable to the red bean paste filling.
Step 7
Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, then roll it into a 3-4mm rectangle (if the dough is too soft, fold it in thirds twice); place red bean paste filling on one half, spread evenly, and leave some space at the edges.
Step 8
Fold the dough sheet in half and pinch tightly.
Step 9
Roll into a dough sheet about 3mm thick.
Step 10
Sprinkle a layer of granulated sugar on the surface and press down slightly with hands or a rolling pin.
Step 11
Press out shapes with a mold and arrange on the baking sheet; if very soft, use a scraper to assist with moving (remaining dough sheets can be gathered together and pressed again; they may not look good but the taste remains the same).
Step 12
Decorate with goji berries (you can mark the spots first and decorate after baking to prevent the goji berries from burning easily; prick some small holes on the surface to prevent puffing up), place in a preheated oven at 160 degrees, middle rack for about 20 minutes, until hard and the bottom turns yellow.
