Colorful butterfly cookies

Prepare ingredients: low-gluten flour: 200g, unsalted butter: 90g, powdered sugar: 45g, eggs: 2, salt: 1g, water: 2 tsp, six-color pigment: a little, colored pearl sugar: appropriate amount.

Separate the yolks and whites of two eggs.

Soften the butter at room temperature, add the powdered sugar in two batches, and beat with a mixer at low speed.

Beat until the volume is slightly enlarged and the color becomes lighter.

Add the two egg yolks in two batches and beat well. When the first egg yolk and butter are fully combined, add the next egg yolk and continue to beat.

Add table salt and stir the mixture until smooth.

Sift the cake flour into the mixture.

Use a spatula to stir into coarse particles like almond flour.

Pour the mixture into coarse particles on the work surface and push it repeatedly with your hands until the mixture is fine and has no particles.

Knead the pressed mixture into a smooth dough. Do not over-knead to avoid the dough becoming hard. Divide the dough into two portions (the volume of the two portions is 1:2), wrap the small portions of dough in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for later use.

Divide large portion of dough into six equal portions.

Add red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink pigments to adjust the color. The type of color can be determined according to your own preferences. Wrap the surface of the dough with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

Roll the colored dough into rectangular pieces of equal size and about 5mm thick. Here’s how to calculate the thickness of the film. First measure the height of your mold. The total height of the 6 colors of dough pieces should be equal to the height of the mold. This way you know how thick each dough piece should be. Place the rolled dough into the refrigerator to freeze slightly to make it easier to shape.

Take out the slightly frozen colored dough sheets. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the egg whites and beat to make a binding agent, then brush it on the surface of the dough.

Place each layer of colored dough sheets together, put plastic wrap on the surface of the stacked dough sheets, and use a rolling pin to lightly press the surface of the dough sheets to help the layers of dough sheets fit together.

Trim the four sides of the dough sheet, put it in the refrigerator to freeze slightly, and then cut out several colorful strips according to the width of the butterfly mold.

Use a butterfly mold to cut out a butterfly shape on the long colored strip. Don’t waste the remaining corners. You can clump them together later and use a cookie cutter to make other shapes.

Cut out several butterfly shapes.

Use adhesive to stick them together to make butterfly combination strips, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator to freeze slightly.

Take out a small portion of the original color dough and knead it softly with your hands. I took out the slightly frozen butterfly combination strips from the refrigerator, cut off part of the length, and cut them directly into slices to make butterfly-shaped biscuits. The other part of the length of the butterfly combination strip is wrapped with the original color dough to make a round biscuit with a butterfly heart. The method of wrapping the original color dough is: take a small part of the original color dough, roll it into a long strip, and stick it to the groove of the colorful butterfly combination strip. This is to make it slightly rounder and easier to operate.

Roll the remaining original color dough into a thicker strip, stick it on the surface of the colorful butterfly strips, roll the dough into a round shape, wrap the surface tightly with plastic wrap, then use gentle force to further shape, and then send it to the refrigerator again to freeze slightly.

Take out the dough, brush the surface with adhesive, and roll it on a plate with colored beads. Cut into slices about 0.5cm thick with a sharp knife and place on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes.

Beautiful butterflies dance among the flowers. These dancers of nature are so beautiful that it is truly amazing.

A pair of pink wings and two silver whiskers. Flying away in the wind, dancing slowly against the sun.

Crossing the water and crossing the wall can be a quick and easy way, stealing the fragrance and making catkins is very fun.

The light body prefers the smell of flowers, and the elegance and fragrance can be relaxed.
