I did these cute cookies after seeing many bakers doing it for upcoming Chinese New Year which happened to be a Goat Year. Hopefully these fatty Baa Baa White Sheep will bring me lots of fortune, luck and happiness and same to you who is reading this blog.
If you never taste a German Cookie before, it actually taste like the Wang Wang biscuit and it melts in mouth.
The recipe below is adapted from Small Small baker.
Ingredients (makes 32 pieces)
125g butter
40g icing sugar, sifted
125g potato starch
80g plain flour
Decoration
Black Sesame Seeds
Chocolate Chips
Direction
1. Beat butter and icing sugar till fluffy and light in colour.
2. Sift in potato starch and flour, mix to form a soft dough.
Don't worry about the softness of the dough as you can chill in the fridge for 30-45min to make it easier for shaping.
3. Roll into a 12g balls and 2 tiny balls for each sheep. Place the 2 tiny balls on top of the head and gently make a line using toothpick. Add the black sesame for the eyes and chocolate chips for the ears.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 160 deg C for 25 mins, upper rack with top and bottom heat.
5. Store in air-tight container and consume within a week. I believe you dont need to wait for one week to finish them.
Bon Appetit!!!
Do you know the origin? It would really help a lot, like, when did it first get made and by who?
