There are usually two reasons why cookies are not crisp and soft. First, the ratio of flour to water is incorrect, and second, the baking time is short. Many people like baking very much, among which homemade cookies are the starting dessert in baking. Although they look simple, they always fail. Not only do they not have the crisp taste of cookies, but they taste soft, just like eating bread. If there is more water in the biscuit, it is easy to lose the crispy taste, and the baking time is also very important. If it is too long, it will scorch the biscuit, and if it is too short, it will not be fully cooked.

Take the simplest Margaret biscuit as an example. When we are making this dessert, we need to prepare100g of low-gluten flour,100g of corn starch,100g of butter, two cooked egg yolks, and a little salt and powdered sugar. Soften the butter at room temperature, and add powdered sugar and edible salt. The amount of sugar can be properly adjusted according to your own preferences, usually around 50 grams to 60 grams. Beat the butter with electric egg beater until it turns white and slightly swells.

Sift the egg yolk, pour it into butter, stir well, sift in corn starch and low-gluten flour, and knead all the ingredients into smooth dough. At this time, the state of the dough is slightly dry, and there is no need to add water at all. After we wrap the dough with plastic wrap, we put it in the refrigerator for one hour, which can make the cookies look better and have a higher success rate. Divide the dough into small balls of the same size, put them directly on the baking tray, and press a small hole in the middle by hand.

At this time, there will be natural cracks around the biscuits. The oven 170 degrees will be preheated and placed in the middle layer 15~20 minutes. When we see that the biscuits are slightly yellow around, it means that they have been baked. Due to the different conditions of the oven, the time may be appropriately extended or shortened. Fresh-baked cookies are soft, and they will become crisp and delicious after cooling, and can be kept in sealed cans for 2~3 days.
