Kurabie Butter Cookies

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix together until a dough forms — it should be stiff, so add extra flour if too sticky to work with.
  2. Rub a little melted butter over your hands, then break the dough into 20 equal pieces and roll each into a ball, re-buttering your hands before each one.
  3. Place the balls on a greased or lined baking tray 5cm apart, working in two batches.
  4. Brush each ball with beaten egg and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes — the kurabie should be light golden and slightly squishy in the middle. Cool on a rack.
