Tofu & Kinako Cookie
Are you interested in sweets that don’t use eggs and milk? This time, I’ll make cookies using tofu and kinako(soybean powder), which are familiar health foods in Japan. To make them enjoyable, I tried making cookies shaped like the faces of our pets, Mario and Luigi.
Ingredients (16 pieces) :
160g Plain flour *all purpose
2 Tbsp Kinako
3 Tbsp Sugar
80g Tofu
50g Butter
Directions:
1. Put the flour and kinako in a bowl and mix well.
2. Add the tofu and gently loosen it, then add the butter that has been brought to room temperature and knead together with your hands.
3. After gathering them together, transfer them to a work surface, roll them out well with a rolling pin, and unmold them.
4. Bake in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, let cool, and decorate with a chocolate pen.
