I bake my 1st biscuits! Super Simple Cream Cheese Biscuits!

Today is 1 Feb 2012. Chinese New Year is around the corner. Lots of people around me are baking cookies for Chinese New Year, and I came across some recipe using cream cheese. Since, I have around 150g of cream cheese left from my Cream Cheese Chiffon Cake, hence I Goggles for the most simplest cream cheese biscuits or cookies to bake.  I come across this recipe from Zoom Yummy and immediately attracted by it due to its simplicity as it uses only 3 ingredients.  Zoom Yummy also provides very detail photos.

Below are the recipe. I have modified it slightly to suit my conditions.

Ingredients:
Cream Cheese 130g
Butter 110g (Original recipe calls for soften butter, but I did not wait till the butter soften as my house today was very )
hot. I use SCS Pure Creamery Butter)
Plain Flour
3/4 tsp of salt (Original calls for a pinch of salt. I omitted it because I use salted butter.)

1 egg
Seseme seed, cumin (I ommited as I do not have it on hand)

180 degree Celsius. Pre heat. Baking Tray or Cookies Sheet.

Method:

1. In a baking tray, place a baking sheet. (grease proof paper)

2. Put all the ingredients in a dough bowl.
3. Mix using hand til forms a dough. It does not take long. I think I only spent around 5 minutes to work it into a dough.

4. I take around 10g of the dough and roll it to my desired shape.

5. After shaping, I place it onto the baking sheet.

6. After filling the tray, I beat a egg and apply it as egg wash onto my cookies. 

7. I bake for around 20 minutes in my Cornell oven.

  

Verdict:
