Kinako Sugar cookies

 


I love these cookies because of the kinako flavor, how easy it is to make the dough, and how it is easy to roll out and use and shape.  I baked these cookies for 8.5 minutes.

 Kinako Sugar Cookies (Roll Out Dough) - Mochi Mommy

Ingredients

1 cup softened unsalted butter, 2 sticks

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp baking soda

1 egg

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup kinako

 

Instructions

1.       In a mixer, add butter, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Cream ingredients until light and fluffy.

2.       Add egg and mix until homogenous.

3.       Add all purpose flour and kinako. Beat until dry ingredients are incorporated, but be careful not to overmix.

4.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

5.       Turn out your dough onto a floured surface, and roll out the cookie dough using a rolling pin to about 1/4 of an inch thick. You can add more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking.

6.       Cut out your shapes using cookie cutters and arrange on your baking tray. If your kitchen is warm and your dough is feeling too soft to hold its shape, stick your dough in the fridge to chill.

7.       Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. If decorating, let cookies cool completely before adding icing.
