This might come in handy since CNY is coming soon. You can try it at your own risk, I was experimenting with this last week. There’s no egg needed for this recipe.
A
150gm castor sugar (Reduce the sugar to 80-100gm if you don’t want it to be too sweet)
250gm butter
B
300gm plain flour
1 cup cornflakes finely grounded
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper/white pepper (optional, if you like stronger pepper taste, increase it to 1 teaspoon or replace with curry powder or chili powder)
C
5 slices cheddar cheese tear into small pieces or 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese. Better to use grated cheddar cheese.
- Cream ingredients A.
- Mix ingredients B.
- Fold in mixture B into A and add in ingredient C until become soft dough.
- Shape it with cookie cutter or based on your creativity.
- Preheat oven.
- Bake at 160 Degree Celsius for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Due to lighting, it looks quite pale in the photo.
Those who know me know that I have difficulty following a recipe, I tend to modify it. This recipe is actually inspired by Cheddar Cheese Cookies and Cornflakes Cookies.
The end result, I should reduce the sugar or totally discard the sugar and make Cheddar Cheese Cookies without the milk. I would prefer to have stronger cheese, salt, and pepper taste but the sugar overpowered everything. It tasted more like butter biscuits.
