Chinese Walnut Cookies

I already mentioned that I made some biscuits last weekend.

These were the last batch I made on Sunday night.

I like eating chinese walnut cookies so when I found an easy recipe compared to the traditional recipe, I gave it a try.

I think this wasn't as good as the one I can get from Chinatown.

But my mum said it's nice.

I think maybe I should have roasted the walnut 1st before adding to the dough & put more walnuts in.

I'll try to make some again.

Recipe:

75g icing sugar

55g butter (unsalted)

150g plain flour

1g soda in 20g water

25g whole walnut (suggest 30g or more)

1 egg (beaten) for brushing

Roast walnut in the oven at 150'C for 15 min, then grind into small chips once cool.

Butter (softened) + sugar, beat until smooth & fluffy.

Add soda + water & blend well.

Stir in sifted plain flour.

Add walnut chips & mix well.

Roll into small sized balls, place 5 cm apart, flatten slightly, then use a brush to put some egg (beaten) on top.

Bake at 180'C in preheated oven for 18 - 20 min.
