The original name for this recipe is custard melting moments. Once the cookies are done, I taste it to find out the "melting" effect as mention in its name. I feel disappointed as the cookies are more on crispy side. The recipe name with "melting moments" is not suitable. :D The peanut butter is slightly over power the butter flavour. That's why I name it Custard Peanut Cookies. Overall these cookies are nice.
Ingredients: yield about 110 pieces
(A)
210g butter
130g icing sugar (original 160g)
2 egg yolks
150g creamy peanut butter
*I use homemade peanut butter
(B)
150g custard powder
210g plain flour
Methods:
1. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add in yolks and beat to combine. Follow by the peanut butter. Mix well.
2. Fold in the sifted flour from (C). Mix till well combine.
3. With a measurement spoon, scoop (I used 1 teaspoon) each portion from the dough. Roll each into rounds and press against cookie board to form pattern. Arrange on lined baking trays.
4. Bake at preheated oven 150C for 20 minutes.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Mine look more yellowish, might due to different brand of custard powder.
Wow! The cookies look so tempting, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehi dear, are the cookies supposed to be soft in texture or crispy? I baked and it was tasty but soft in texture. But I made bigger cookies (1 tbsp each) instead of 1 tsp. That's the only change I made. Please advise? Thanks :)
