Embrace the joy of baking with these Sunflower Jam Blossom Cookies, which will bring a touch of floral beauty and sweetness to any gathering or quiet moment with a cup of tea.
Ingredients:
- 110 g butter, softened to tenderness
- 1 medium egg, the binding beauty
- 50 g powdered sugar, for a delicate sweetness
- 60 g cornstarch, for a melt-in-your-mouth texture
- 45 g oil, for a light crumb
- 1 level teaspoon of baking powder, the rise of the dough
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, for that fragrant allure
- 250 g all-purpose flour, the structure of our cookies
- Your favorite jam, for the heart of the flower
Preparation:
- Start your cookie journey by mixing the butter, egg, powdered sugar, cornstarch, oil, baking powder, and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually introduce the flour, until a smooth dough forms. Wrap this bundle of potential in plastic and let it rest, chilled, for 30 minutes.
- After its rest, shape the dough into small, 5-gram balls. To create each cookie, assemble one ball in the center and six around it to form a sunflower shape. Gently press the balls down and use a stick to etch petal-like lines.
- Preheat your oven to a cozy 180°C, readying it for the bake. Spoon a small dollop of jam into the center of each blossom for a burst of flavor.
- Lay the sunflower cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment, giving them space to bloom. Bake for about 15 minutes until they're just kissed with gold around the edges, being careful to keep their sun-kissed color.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet to ensure they firm up and hold their lovely shape.
Serve these Sunflower Jam Blossom Cookies as a delightful homage to the art of baking. Perfect for special occasions or simply as a sunny treat to brighten any day. Enjoy every bite of these charming, jam-filled delights! 👩🏻🍳🌻🍪
