The cookies tasted almost like the blue colour tin Danish butter cookies. Not only I think so, my colleagues who tasted it also said so.
I suggest using good quality butter for this recipe. I used Golden Churn this time. I think may be next time I should try using Lurpak, the taste may be even better.
I strongly recommend this recipe especially for beginner. Not only the recipe is simple, the dough is very easy to handle too. Just need to watch out the oven temperature and baking time.
¼ tsp vanilla oil 香草油 (I replaced by ½ tsp vanilla extract)
350g plain flour (sifted) 普通面粉 (混合过筛)
30g custard powder 蛋黄粉

3) Fold in the sifted flour (plain flour & custard powder) and mix into a soft dough.

取一些粉团, 用手搓成圆形, 用叉子稍微压扁形成纹路,并在饼面上晒一些糖。
5) Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for about 20 mins till golden brown. Remove , leave to cool before storing.**
放入已预热的烤箱内,180°C烘约20分钟至金黄色,取出待冷。**

** I bake at 170°C for about 10 - 12 mins.
** 我用170 °C烤约10 - 12分钟。
Note:
1)In step 4, I measure each small ball with a measuring spoon, each cookie is ½ tbsp. Yield 139 cookies.
2) Besides sprinkle sugar on top, you can have other variations using the same cookie dough. I added chopped cherries and orange peels on some of the cookies. I also tried to wrap some chocolate chips with the cookie dough.

Happy New Year to you, Angel!

ReplyDeleteyummy cookies, i like the one with cherries...
tracieMoo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur lovely comment.
I think the butter I used (Golden Churn) is good enough. I will try using Lurpak when it's on sales. Haha. It's expesive.
Happy new year!
celine,
ReplyDeleteU may try this recipe as it's really very easy. I am not sure if the dough is suitable to make the cut out type of cookie but I think u still can create cute-looking cookie by simply shaping the dough. I shall try doing that next time too.
Sheeleen,
ReplyDeleteSure....I like the one with sugar on top most. :-)
Happy new year!
Looks perfect, especially for kids :)
ReplyDeleteAnncoo,
ReplyDeleteThanks you for ur comment but I think this cookie is quite fattening.
These cookies are chewable!!
ReplyDeletesee you
You really a kind mommy, always share good recipe to the beginner in baking like me, hehe:-)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I do not like too buttery cookies (I am not a big fan of Blue Dannish biscuits too), so do you think I still can try this recipe?
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteU may start to like butter cookies after trying to make ur own. :-)
If u dun like too buttery taste, maybe u can use 'cheaper' butter such as Buttercup.
Is it? Ok ok, then I must try to bake this cookies.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteJust my suggestion, you may try to bake some for CNY. :-) Hope you will like it.
Hi there, I tried your recipe today and it is really really really good!!! I will be making more next week~ Thanks so much for sharing! =D
ReplyDeleteSerene,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! Personally I also like this recipe very much.
HiHi! Made this butter cookies yesterday. They were great! It really does taste like the "Danish Butter Cookies" especially with some sugar sparkled on top! love them! Shall bake it again with some chocolate chips! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteMseminence,
ReplyDeleteGlad that you like it.
I miss these cookies a lot, have bought a pack of course sugar (for sprinking on top), hope I can spare some times to bake this (my to-bake list is long given my very limited free time for baking).
Happy CNY to you!
Hi! Would like to check if this recipe can be halved? And can the dough be freezed for future use?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Winnie,
ReplyDeleteSure, you can halve the recipe, just divide everything by 2.
I have never freezed any biscuit dough before though I have read about it. So I am sorry that I can't give you advice in this aspect.
Thank u!
ReplyDeleteHi I do not have custard power. Can replace with corn or other flour?
ReplyDeleteJJMUM
Hi JJMUM,
ReplyDeleteYes. You can replace custurd powder with cornflour.
hi,
ReplyDeletei came across your blog, u have such a beautiful blog and great recipes, i would like to know whether this butter cookies, can i use cookies press instead of hand rolling. thanks
bae
Hi Bae,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment.
The cookie dough is quite soft, thus, I don't recommend to use cookie press for this recipe. It may be difficult to handle.
Hi Angel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this fabulous recipe. I've tried it out yesterday. Not only they are easy to make, the cookies taste yummy too. It is versatile as well. I've topped the cookie with almond flake. : )
Hi Anonymous,
DeletePlease leave your name next time so that I know how to address you.
I am glad that your cookies turn out well.
Topping with almond flakes sounds like a good idea.
