Servings: 6
Ingredients:
Cookie Dough
60g Unsalted Butter
30g Beet Sugar
1 Egg Yolk
100g Rice Flour
30g Beni-Imo Powder
Filling
100g White Bean Paste
40g Unsalted Butter
Instructions:
If the unsalted butter is cold, let it come to room temperature to soften.
Add the rice flour and beni-imo powder to a bowl and mix with a spatula until the flour and butter are uniformly mixed. Then knead with your hands to combine the dough.
Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and roll it out to about 5mm thick. Let it rest in a refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
Cut out the shapes, place the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and bake in an oven at 320°F (160℃) for about 15-20 minutes.
Put the amount of white bean paste you need into a bowl and leave it at room temperature then mix in the unsalted butter. Mix well to taste a smooth texture.
Roll the bean paste butter into cookie-sized balls and sandwich them between the cookies. Remove any excess bean paste with a spatula to make a clean surface and enjoy the beni-imo cookie sando!
