Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 60 g Powdered sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 160 g Cake flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 50 g Walnuts (chopped)
- 1 small amount Egg wash (beaten egg yolk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This may take 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg yolk to the mixture and beat until just incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the dough until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each one into a round, slightly flattened cookie. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Brush the tops of the cookies with a thin layer of egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies with tea or coffee for a delightful Taiwanese treat!
