Hand Made Baking – Kamran Siddiqi

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and nutmeg for about 15 seconds, or until combined. Add the butter, peanut butter, and egg yolks and mix on low speed until a dough ball forms (feel free to do all this in a food processor, using the pulse function).

Drop rounded 1-Tbsp portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 in/5 cm apart. Using the tines of a fork dipped in a bit of flour, press the rounds down, making a crosshatch pattern while flattening them slightly. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the cookies have just turned golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Serve with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar on top. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. OceanofPDF.com Samee Cookies I’m told the very first cookie I ate was a vanilla wafer and throughout my childhood, instead of calling them by their proper name, I called them “Samee Cookies”—after my Aunt Samee, who introduced me to them. These Samee Cookies are vanilla wafers in almost every form, only they have a beautiful crackly exterior. The dough is simple to put together and can go straight from the mixing bowl to the oven.

The cookies are best enjoyed completely cooled with a large glass of cold milk. 3/4 cup/90 g all-purpose flour 11/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp fine-grain sea salt 1/4 cup/55 g unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup/100 g granulated sugar 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 1 egg yolk Position a rack in the center of the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside. In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until fluffy.
