1
Sift the cake flour twice.
-
2
I always use this confectionery flour that doesn't require any sifting.
-
3
If you use it, you don't need to sift!
-
4
Take the butter out of the refrigerator and cut up into pieces.
-
5
Place in a heatproof dish, wrap with plastic wrap, and heat at 600 W for 40~50 seconds until almost melted.
-
6
Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a bowl and mix until white and fluffy.
-
7
It'll become white like this.
-
8
It's okay if the crunchy texture of the sugar remains.
-
9
Mix the beaten egg well in 2~3 portions.
-
10
Next, add vanilla oil to taste.
-
11
Add the cake flour to Step 6 and use cutting motions to mix together with a spatula.
-
12
Press the dough into the bowl while mixing.
-
13
When it's no longer powdery, it's ready.
-
14
Divide the dough into 2~3 portions.
-
15
Lay out a long strip of plastic wrap, then set a long, thin, 2 cm diameter cylinder of dough on top, and roll it up to wrap.
-
16
Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap closed into a cylinder shape, making it hard to crumble.
-
17
If you have a cardboard tube, slide it through the tube and chill in the tube so that it keeps its shape.
-
18
[Variation] You can divide the dough and add cocoa powder, chocolate chips, or raisins and such.
-
19
This time, I divided it into 3 portions to make a butter, a chocolate chip, and a raisin variety.
-
20
The raisin cookie dough cylinder needs to be a bit fatter.
-
21
Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but if you can let it chill for half a day, it will be even more delicious.
-
22
If you don't have much time, just an hour is okay.
-
23
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
-
24
Remove from the refrigerator, open the plastic wrap, and coat the dough with granulated sugar on top of the plastic wrap.
-
25
If it's hard to get the sugar to stick, you can brush some water on the dough's surface.
-
26
Once coated with sugar, slice into 1 cm thick slices.
-
27
Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment paper and arrange the cookies with space between.
-
28
Once the oven has finished preheating, bake at 180C for 10~15 minutes.
-
29
Please adjust the baking time according to your oven.
