Puppy Surprise Cookies

 

Usher in the Year of the Dog this Lunar New Year with these cute lil puppies. Each cookie hides a chocolate candy in the middle, making it a hit amongst the young ones. You could even make a game out of it by omitting the chocolate candy in some so that those who get the surprise in the middle will feel really lucky!

Happy baking and have a paws-perous Lunar New Year!

Tip: For best results, do not over-cream butter and icing sugar. Once it is soft, smooth and the powdered sugar has dissolved, it’s done.

 

Ingredients

(Makes 60 cookies)

  • 250g unsalted butter, soft
  • 100g icing sugar, sifted
  • 360g plain flour, sifted
  • 15g milk powder

  • Chocolate rice

Method

  • Cream butter and icing sugar in a mixer until soft
  • Stir in vanilla extract, milk powder and flour until a soft dough is formed
  • Portion dough into 12g pieces. Flatten dough, place a piece of chocolate candy in the middle and roll each piece into a ball
  • To form the face of the dog, use chocolate rice as eyes, a chocolate chip as nose and Koko Krunch cereal as ears

  • Remove cookies from oven, allow to cool completely and store in an air-tight container
