Chinese New Year is coming soon... and since today is a Public Holiday, I make myself comfortable at home by baking CNY cookies. As usual , I always go for something simple and easy to make and today I am baking "German Cookies".

 












Let me share with you the recipe :

Ingredients :
A) 250 gr butter ( I used WestGold )
     80 gr   icing sugar
B) 250 gr potato flour
     100 gr plain flour ( I used BlueKey brand - superfine flour )

Methods :
1. Mix A together, stir in high speed till fluffy.
2. Add in B and mix well. It is advisable to keep the dough in the fridge for about 1-2 hours.
It will help to make the dough firm and easy to make the round shape.
3. Make into small round shape, press lightly with a fork.
4. Pre-heat the oven , bake the cookies for 170'c for about 15-20 mins.

Note : Never add flour to increase the hardness of the dough.
