Equipment
- 2 Mixing Bowls
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 Tbsp
- 1 Teaspoon
- 1 Mixing Device I use a fork for mixing cookies its super easy.
- 1 Cookie Sheet
- parchment paper optional
Ingredients
- 1 Cups Flour
- ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ Cup Butter
- ½ Cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Blue Pea Flower Powder
- 3 Tbsp Taro Powder
Instructions
- In your mixing bowl cream together sugar and softened butter.
- Mix in the whole egg blending well.
- Add all the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture except the Taro and Blue Pea Flower Powders.
- Divide dough equally in half.
- Put half in the other mixing bowl. Add into one the Taro powder until well blended.
- In the other half the dough mix in the Blue Pea Flower Powder.
- If you find that either is too dry add a tiny bit more butter to the dough.
- Lightly flour your table/counter surface.
- With a rolling pin roll each dough into a rectangle or as close as possible to it. Make sure each rectangle is the same size.
- Carefully lift and lay one color on top of the other.
- Taking the dough by the edge closest to you roll it together into a log.
- Put the log of cookie dough in a tightly wrapped piece of saran or parchment. Put in fridge to chill for one hour.
- The chilling is important so it will slice nicely.
- Remove after chilling and slice with knife into equal thickness. Not overly thin and not overly thick.. Think the thickness of an Oreo cookie.
- The cookies may not be perfectly round or even touching dough on dough. However they will spread as they bake and close in any small gaps.
- Place cookies evenly apart on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350℉ for approximately 9-12 minutes. The cookies will have slight brown edge when finished.
