Crispy Walnut Cookies

Craving for crispy stuff, so I baked these crispy walnut cookies. I used this recipe but replace the butter with corn oil. Cookies turned out crispier than the ones with butter.



Ingredients:
(A)
75g corn oil
pinch of salt
65g castor sugar
2 tbsp lightly beaten egg (keep the rest as egg wash)

(B)
150g cake flour
heaped 1/4 tsp baking powder
heaped 1/4 tsp baking soda

(C)
50g Walnut bits

Method:
1. Toast walnuts in oven at 160C for 6-8 minutes. Cut into tiny pieces.
2. Sieve (B) together and add in walnut bits.
3. Mix (A) in a mixing bowl.
4. Add oil mixture to flour mixture. Mix well. Dough should be crumbly.
5. Divide dough into 10g pieces, shape them into flat round disc. Apply egg wash. Put them on a lined baking tray 2cm apart to allow room for expansion.
6. Bake at 180C for 15 - 18 minutes or till golden brown.

This look like those Chinese walnut cookies using shortening. Is the crisp same as that using shortening?

Aimei,
I don't like to use shortening in my baking. But this recipe produces cripsy cookies too! Give it a try.

Hi Florence,

What equipment do you use for mixing (eg. wooden spoon, kitchenaid....)? Thanks for sharing your recipes.
