      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

These cookies were developed to have granules of sugar visible which add a nice texture and crunch.  If you prefer, you can mill the sugar first on speed 10 for 5-10 seconds, and then proceed with step 1.  

Once mixed, pastry should combine and hold together when pressed between fingers.  It it doesn't, add a little more water and knead for a few more seconds.

If, after chilling in refrigerator, the pastry is too sticky to easily roll, sprinkle with a little flour (both sides) until it is easy to work with. 

The thinner the cookies, the quicker they will cook, and  the crisper they will be after baking.

Additional flavourings such as cinnamon, ground ginger, orange or lemon zest, etc, could be added to the mix to created different variations.

The number of cookies made will depend on the size of the cutters used! If using a little teddy cutter, you will make many more than the suggested 40!

  • Easy to make....

    Submitted by cyo on 18. April 2020 - 19:35.

    Easy to make.

    I made this with my 7 year old. Dough was easy to make.


    I needed to chill it a bit longer but it was easy enough to figure out what worked best for us (a little flour and rolling the dough between two baking paper sheets, then sliding the bottom sheet onto the tray after removing excess dough from the cut pieces).

    These are delicious, and we haven't even iced them yet. Will be making them again. Thank you for the recipe!

    Worked perfectly first go (using GF flour) and I don't bake! I made large sheep shaped cookies and they held their shape perfectly. Thanks so much, I didn't have time to trial any failed recipes!

    You can totally mill your sugar to caster sugar. I deliberately left it grainy because I love the effect of the sugar granules in it!  tmrc_emoticons.D Cooking 1

    Held their shape perfectly, and kept the imprint on the cookies. I might mill the sugar to caster next time and see if it changes it at all - we had sugar granules dotting our cookies.
