COPYCAT JENNY BUTTER COOKIES - melt in the mouth





Jenny Cookies

a hit among the cookie lovers
who queue long hours for a box of this famous cookies
in Hong Kong's Jenny Bakery

I stumble on this recipe 
and 
tried baking it

Nice
fragrant
melt in the mouth

Jenny Cookies come in 2 flavours
butter cookies
&
Coffee

The creaming of butter with icing sugar gives a crumbly texture
And 
Part of the plain flour has been replaced with corn flour
To create the melt in the mouth texture

Here is the recipe if you are interested

COPYCAT JENNY BUTTER COOKIES

A) 100g salted butter, cold but softened
     25g icing sugar

B) sifted together dry ingredients:
     25g rice flour
     30g bread flour
     45g plain flour

1) cream butter & icing sugar until pale
2) fold in dry ingredients until just combined
3) put mixture into a piping bag & leave in fridge for 5 minutes
4) pipe out on lined baking sheet
5) bake in preheated oven 160'C for 15 min until brown at edges, rotating half way




COPYCAT JENNY COFFEE COOKIES


A) 100g salted butter, cold but softened
     30g icing sugar

B) sifted together dry ingredients:
     25g corn flour
     30g bread flour
     45g plain flour
     
C) 1 Tbsp instant coffee granules dissolved in 1/2 tsp boiling water

1) cream butter & icing sugar until pale
2) fold in dry ingredients until just combined
3) put mixture into a piping bag 
4) pipe out on lined baking sheet

1) For Coffee Variant, I have replaced the rice flour with corn flour.
2) rice flour and corn flour are interchangeable & it does not affect the texture

Woohoo! How did you go with it? Looks lovely! :)

Katie Foong: Not bad! Come to think of it, quite easy to make. Cream A, sift B together & mix

Hi Katie, the recipe I used uses corn flour instead of rice flour
but result should be similar,
I find there's still something lacking in taste,
quite a few recipe I read calls for golden churn tin butter,
that probably makes the difference,
if you are able to get hold of the butter
maybe you can have a try to see if there's any difference
from normal butter. Normal butter still taste great though ����

Katie Foong: Yes I am very particular about butter.
I have tried golden churn tin
but I still prefer SCS in WHITE paper wrapper.
If you have found a better choice please let me know,
thank you Kai Ching Leong.
I think I will try using corn flour one if these days.
Think of replacing some of the flours with cocoa powder too.

Katie Foong: I like the aroma of butter cookies,
I mean nice butter smell and taste .

Kai Ching Leong: I love butter cookies too!
Buttery ���� try using corn flour next time,
I seem to get a better after taste,
I did a batch of rice flour plus corn flour but I prefer corn flour.

Katie Foong: Oh, is it ?
Should I replace the rice flour with corn flour?
September 4 at 9:16pm

Kai Ching Leong: yeah, can try swapping corn flour for rice flour,
the recipe i used, uses wheat flour instead of bread,
but they are pretty much same stuff,
so probably corn flour will make a difference,
try to use corn flour and see whether you like it or not :)

Kai Ching Leong: sorry i meant to say swap and use corn flour
instead of rice flour
September 4 at 10:24pm

Katie Foong: Thank you,
I will try today & show you the picture of the product.
Think I will use corn flour instead of rice flour,
plain flour instead of bread flour.
I am going to replace some of the flours with cocoa powder as well,
so I get a chocolate Jenny Cookies with nut too?
What do you think?

Kai Ching Leong: Katie Foong hi Katie,
you do meant wheat flour instead of plain flour yes?
The plain flour remains,
but wheat instead of bread if you are trying a different recipe.
i'm not too sure but i don't think jenny cookies does chocolate ones,
it's coffee ones...See More

Katie Foong: Yes, I mean the brown one. Coffee?
Then I need to use coffee instead.
Anxious to experiment .
Thanks Kai Cheng Leong for the additional info.
Will update you soon.
