Experience with Potato Cookies at home

Potato cookies are the love of my family members. From mum to my youngest brother, we love it to bits. But the problem is, we only get to eat those cookies once a year.

So, mother and I make a team: Try and bake different type of easy cookies before Chinese New Year arrived in February. Thanks to this blog, we manage to trace the awesome recipe.

How was the experience?
Oh well, it was awesome because I never know that there are few ingredients with few simple steps to produce awesome, delicious and yummy cookies.

Everything went smoothly?
  1. We made it like a cute big round ball. Yes, big. We forget that those cookies will expand when heating them in oven! So, there's the first thing we keep in mind when we bake it for the 2nd time.
  2. The dough was extremely soft due to the fact that the ingredients are mixed into butter-icing-sugar-mixture when beating. Mother thought it was impossible to make it like a ball shaped initially. But it can that I think that's the unique part of these cookies.
  3. Mother taught me to use the fork to press against the cookies to form shape. *Simple thing that I have no idea.*

Mother and daughter potato cookies:)

This is the recipe I found here:

Ingredients:
  • Butter - 125g
  • Icing sugar - 40g
  • Potato starch - 125g
  • Plain flour - 80g
Method:
  1. Beat butter and icing sugar until fluffy and lighter in colour.
  2. Sift in potato starch and flour, mix to form a soft dough.
  3. Roll into small ball, arrange on lined baking pan.
  4. Press with a fork.
  5. Bake in preheated oven at 150C for 20 minutes.
 My brother said it was not bad.
This cookies are special. Because it's so soft until we will eat it non-stop, endlessly, without a big full-stop.
