45 min
medium
6 servings
Servings4
60g unsalted butter
30g powdered sugar
100g cake flour
5g black cocoa powder
1 teaspoon milk
vanilla oil (a few drops)

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while margarine can lower costs.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate bars

Dark chocolate has less sugar and can be more nutritious.

white chocolate

🥗Healthier: yogurt chips

💰Cheaper: vanilla chips

Yogurt chips reduce sugar while maintaining sweetness.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

1

Soften 60g of unsalted butter at room temperature and cream it (be careful not to overdo it as it will become hard).

2

Add 30g of powdered sugar and mix.

3

Sift in 100g of cake flour and 5g of black cocoa powder, then mix.

4

Once mixed to a certain extent, add 1 teaspoon of milk and mix further.

5

Add a few drops of vanilla oil and mix.

6

Once it forms a lump, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for over 1 hour.

7

Roll out to a thickness of 5mm.

8

Cut out shapes using a chrysanthemum-shaped cutter. Various sizes look cute.

9

Bake in a preheated oven at 170℃ for 16 minutes.

10

Once cooled, draw faces on the cookies. Use white chocolate in a piping bag (or white chocolate pen) to pipe circles for eyes. Once that dries, use dark chocolate in a piping bag (or dark chocolate pen) to pipe on top.

11

Finish by adding star-shaped sugar sprinkles to make them look like konpeito (Japanese sugar candy).
