Melt-in-your-mouth Mushroom Floss Chinese Cookies 即熔蘑菇干曲奇饼

Happy New Year everyone ! This is my first bake of the year 2017. I have to admit that I’ve been away too often lately and I really need to warm up my oven cause my girl is back for a one month break. And Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids has inspired me to make these cookies right away. I love how simple the mixed up ingredients. However, I have replaced the meat floss with vegetarian mushroom floss instead. And if you’re interested to find out more, please read on…….

This mushroom floss smell and taste as good as the meat floss. The best thing was ….. its vegetarian ! You can easily found them at any vegetarian shop.

100gm  butter, softened at room temperature
20gm  icing sugar

1/8 tspn  baking powder
1 TB   sesame seeds, toasted
2 TB   mushroom floss

* egg glazing : 1 egg yolk + 1 tspn milk

Method :
(1)  combine flour, cornflour, salt & baking powder together and mix well.
(2)  now, cream butter and icing sugar till smooth then fold in flour mixture to form sticky dough.
(3) finally, throw in the remaining ingredients and mix till everything well cooperated.
(4)  next, wrap dough with plastic sheet and keep chilled for 30 minutes or till dough manageable to handle.
(5)  when ready, place chilled dough to slightly floured working table and roll out flat about 1cm thickness. Then cut with round cookie cutter.
