Sakura Cookies (樱花曲奇)








那天从Sonia手里接过这盒珍,心里高得不得了。当算着要等爸妈来的时候用来迎宾用的。因为柏斯大雾浓罩飞机无法顺利下降,爸妈的飞机竟然被逼转到墨尔本降落然后当晚再从墨尔本飞回柏斯。这个行程也够漫长的,原本五个小时半的行程结果是变了十几个小时的行程。苦了老人家要挨饿受寒蹦波劳碌才可以见到思念的家人。今天我就带了这些可爱又珍贵的曲奇到姐姐家探望爸妈。虽然只是小小曲奇,但是情意深重。

在这里谢谢Sonia的一份心意,不忘在日本给我带来了这个很特别的樱花,也在我的部落格里留下很美丽的一页。这里也要感谢Wing
和 Sin Kaan 姐妹俩给我从Darwin寄来了精美的Franz Collection的碟子做生日礼物。礼物是在两个月前已经收到了(虽然生日还没到)。我原本以为姐妹都是合股送一份的,那里知道当我打开箱子意外的收到两个Franz的碟子, 当时感动得眼框都红了。我告诉Wing,特别的碟子一定要装着特别的料理给特别的人。今天这个曲奇虽然只是丹麦牛油曲奇,但是贴上樱花增添不少艳丽,也装着我满满心意,送给我最爱的人。





Ingredients:
90g unsalted butter (I used Lurpak unsalted butter)
50g granulated sugar
2-3drop almond essence
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
120g cake flour (sifted)
16-20 preserved sakura
Super fine sugar, for sprinkle on top of the cookies

Method:
1.  Put the salted Sakura in a bowl, cover with enough water, leave it for 2-6 hours, drain the Sakura and discard the water.

2. Beat the butter with salt until soft, add the granulated sugar and beat until pale.  Add in the almond essence and egg yolk. Beat to just combine together.

3. Pour the flour into the bowl, mix until moisten, then knead lightly until smooth.

4. Cover with plastic warp and put in the fridge for 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven 200 °C. Line the baking sheet with baking paper or Silpat.

6. Roll the cookie dough until ¼ inch (6mm) thickness. (I use Rolling pin rings to get perfect thickness all around) 

7. Cut with preferred cookie cutter. Place on a prepared baking sheet, and put Preserved cherry blossoms on each cookie.

8. Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C Put the cookies into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown, sprinkle with superfine sugar immediately. 

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes then let it cool completely on a wire rack.


Note:to do the pansy cookies, soak pansy in salted water for 2 hours. Drain and arrange on top of the cookies and bake.
