mini cream cheese cookies 迷你奶油乳酪酥饼 (๑>ᴗ<๑)

one moment i can’t find cream cheese, next moment i hv expiring cream cheese …. | (• □•) | (❍ᴥ❍ʋ) such is baking life… i am  always stuck with either no ingredients or expiring ingredients… 救命啊。。。 (⊙ヮ⊙)

Ingredients (makes 12 rectangle L7 x W2 cm cookies)

125g cake flour
20g almond powder
40g sugar
1g salt
50g cream cheese
50g unsalted butter
3g vanilla extract

Directions

– cream both butter and cream cheese and add in sugar and salt. mix till well incorporated and then add in vanilla extract
– sift in cake flour and almond powder in 2 additions and fold well with spatula
– chill dough for 30 mins and then roll out between 2 pieces of cling wrap till dough is 1cm in thickness, and 7cm wide
– chill dough once again for 30 mins, and then from the length (longer) side, slice dough into 2cm slabs. place cut dough onto baking sheet and prick holes with toothpick
– bake for 15mins in preheated oven of 170-175 degrees C

Personal notes:

– i cut my cookies into mini triangle shapes and cut out holes using piping tips so they resemble cheese
– i did not chill my dough after mixing as the kitchen was cool enough. i chilled them (for 15 mins) only after shaping, and just before baking
– my cookies were baked for 10 mins in 175 degrees C oven

these cookies are so easy to put together… matter of mins …. now impress your guests (۶ꈨຶꎁꈨຶ )۶ʸᵉᵃʰᵎ
