Pinkie's
It’s been a while since I’ve received a gift basket full of all sorts of desserts, among them a triple pack of strawberry pudding. As no one is a big fan of pudding, especially not fruit flavors. I decided to look for a recipe with starch flour, as the pudding mainly consists of it. I came across a cookie recipe, from which I honestly didn’t expect much. So in the end I was very surprised! I’ve never eaten cookies of this divine texture before, they just melt in your mouth and when I say melt, I don’t mean that - they’re so good, they melt in your mouth. These really dissolve! You don’t have to take my word for it, that’s why there’s a recipe.
Preparation steps
- Peel a cherry and cut it in half. Place the peeled cherries directly on a small strainer to drain off any excess juice.
- Sift and mix all dry ingredients into a homogeneous mixture.
- Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and knead by hand, until all the ingredients are combined - you will get a very smooth dough that is very easy to form but also lightly crumbles.
- Form small balls from the dough between your palms and lightly squeeze them, to make them look like a button. The balls must be approx. the size of a spiral or a smaller hazelnut, or the size for one small bite.
- Place each biscuit on a tray lined with backing paper and lightly press one half of the cherry into it. Leave a little space between the biscuits as they spread slightly when baking.
- Dip the brush in a little oil and coat half of the cherries (not the whole biscuit) with it, so as to protect them when baking.
- Bake the biscuits in the center of the oven at 170 ° C for 15 minutes, less if you have a strong oven - the biscuits must not change color.
- Leave the baked biscuits on a baking sheet until they cool - still hot biscuits crumble when touched. Store chilled biscuits in a biscuit can or other container with a lid.
- From this amount, approx. 60 biscuits. * Instead of strawberry pudding, you can use another one, for pink tones you can also use raspberry. Combinations of nougat premium pudding and a bit of hazelnut instead of cherry or chocolate pudding with drops of dark or white chocolate will be tried by me soon! :-) This is an original recipe. I adjusted the quantities a bit - the biscuits require these 10 g more sugar. While using a mixer is completely unnecessary if you are working with softened butter.
