Sequilhos De Cocococonut And Cornstarch Cookies Recipes

HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUSLY ADDICTIVE CORNSTARCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 ºC / 350 ºF.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add butter, sugar and vanilla into a bowl and mix until creamy.
• Add the egg and a pinch of salt and mix until well combined. The egg has to be fully incorporated into the butter.
• Add the cornstarch and mix until combined. You should be able to shape the dough into a ball and it should be soft and flexible enough to be able to be used in a cookie press. The dough shouldn't stick to your hands. If the dough does stick don't panic. A little bit of stickiness isn't a problem, as long as you can shape the dough into a ball. If it is too sticky just add a little bit more cornstarch till the dough stops sticking.
• The traditional way to make these cookie is by shaping the dough into little balls which you put on your baking sheet and flatten with a fork dipped in cornstarch. Keep dipping the fork into the cornstarch as needed.
• Sprinkle all cookies with hundreds and thousands.
• Put the cookies into the oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Be careful not to brown them too much, the cookies need to have a light, white/golden colour.
