Equipment

  • Cookie Press

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ Cup Arrowroot Flour
  • ¼ Cup Powdered or Super Fine Caster Sugar
  • 1 Duck Egg or 1 Regular Egg + an Egg Yolk
  • ¼ Cup Melted Butter
  • ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Instructions

  • Pre-Heat Oven to 300F and place a cookie sheet in the refrigerator.
  • In a bowl mix together the arrowroot flour, sugar and salt. Then in a separate small bowl mix together the cooled melted butter, eggs and vanilla essence.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • If the dough feels a little tight and hard to mix add in 1 teaspoon of milk at a time, mixing in between each addition.  You don’t want to go to far.  As I said earlier aim for soft mash potato consistency.
  • Following the instructions from your cookie press manufacturer pick your design and fill the press with your dough.
  • From lessons learned I find it best to press the cookies on an unlined cookie sheet that has just been pulled from the fridge. The dough sticks to the sheet better.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 300F.  These are quite delicate cookies, so I like to keep the temperature low.  I don’t like any color on them, but that is my personal preference.  However if you do like them more golden, add additional cooking time at 2 minute intervals.
  • Once they are out of the oven, they actually slide off the cookie sheet easily.  Leave them to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Once they are cool you can store them in a cookie jar or tin for up to a week.
