Cookie manjyu – fusion cookies

Back in December we participated in a cookie exchange event.  We tried to make something different amongst all the gingerbread and chocolate chip cookies.  So we found this “fusion” cookie recipe from Cookpad.  “Manjyu” (まんじゅう) in Japanese means buns and these are called cookie manjyu because of their ball shape but with the outer shell is cookie instead of bread dough. 

Make 20 cookies

Cream cheese

Cake flour – 150g

Baking powder – 5g

Sugar – 50g

Cream – 50g

Butter – 50g

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350F.

2. Cut the cream cheese into small pieces and roll into 20 balls of about 1.5cm to 2cm.

3. Heat the cream in a pan and melt the sugar and butter in the cream.  While waiting, sift the flour and baking powder.

4. Pour the heated cream into the sifted flour and baking powder.  Mix well and divide the dough into 20 pieces. 

5.  Flatten each piece of dough and wrap the cream cheese inside.  Bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
