Seaweed Almond Cookies ~ 紫菜杏仁饼
Ingredients
- 230 gm unsalted butter
- 320 gm plain flour
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 sheets Japanese roasted seaweed ( 24 x 19 cm)
- 110 gm icing sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 50 gm lightly toasted almond nibs
- Lightly toasted white sesame seeds for garnishing (optional)
Method
- Sift the flour with bicarbonate of soda, salt, set aside.
- Cut up the seaweed and place in a chopper to chop into small pieces.
- With a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter with the icing sugar till well blended.
- Add in the egg yolks and mix well.
- Add in the sifted flour, mix well. Mix in the seaweed bits and almond nibs (You can do this by hand), to form a soft dough.
- Place the dough on a sheet of plastic, shape and roll up. You can roll into a cylindrical or square shape. I roll up the dough and press it into a biscuit shaper mould. Chill it in the fridge for about 2 hours till firm. (I left it in the fridge, overnight).
- Cut up the chilled dough into 1/4 inch thick slice, place on a parchment lined baking pan, 1 inch apart, sprinkle on the white sesame seeds.
- Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C for 13 to 15 mins. till lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight cookie jar.
- Yield : 48 cookies
