Top 5 dishes made from & 3/4 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 . Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookies
Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookies
I have one Basic Cookie Dough recipe that I have been using for decades. I don’t need to know other recipes because this recipe works for me and I like the sweetness and texture of this cookie dough. You can add extra ingredients to this dough and make many different cookies. Possibilities are endless. Today I added Dried Cranberries and White Chocolate Chips, which were quite sweet. I could have reduced the amount of Sugar even though I added only 1/2 cup, that was 80g. Many recipes require 120g or 150g or more Sugar. I can’t stand the extreme sweetness.
Ingredient
125 g
Butter *softened
1/2 cup
Caster Sugar
1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup
White Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup
Dried Cranberries
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Beat softened Butter and Sugar until smooth and well combined. Beat in Egg and Vanilla, and mix well until creamy. Add Flour and mix well, then add White Chocolate Chips and Dried Cranberries, and combine evenly.
* Step 2
Roll the dough into 24 balls, about 3cm size, and place on the tray(s) lined with baking paper.
* Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven at 180℃ for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

2 . Azuki & Walnut Stuffed Matcha Cookies
Azuki & Walnut Stuffed Matcha Cookies
I saw Fruit Mince stuffed roll cookies on the internet. The picture inspired me to make these ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) & Walnuts stuffed cookies. I added Matcha Powder to the dough because Matcha and ‘Tsubu-an’ go very well together. To keep the Matcha colour, not to brown the cookies, I recommend to bake at a lower temperature.
Ingredient
125 g
Butter *softened
1/2 cup
Caster Sugar
1 pinch
Salt
1
Egg
1 tablespoon
Matcha Powder
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Beat softened Butter, Sugar and Salt until smooth. Beat in Egg, add sifted Matcha Powder, and mix well. Add Flour and mix to form soft dough.
* Step 2
*Note: This dough is probably too soft to work with. Divide into 4 even portions, cover with a plate or lid, and refrigerate for 20 minutes OR until slightly firm.
* Step 3
Meanwhile, lightly roast Walnuts, finely chop them up, and mix with Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste).
* Step 4
On a lightly floured surface (OR a sheet of baking paper), roll each portion into about 11cm x 22cm rectangle. Spread 1/4 of filling on each rectangle, and carefully wrap up. *Note: Patch any tears and cracks.
* Step 5
Wrap each roll with plastic food wrap and leave in the fridge until firm.
* Step 6
Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a large baking tray (OR 2 trays) with baking paper.
* Step 7
Cut each roll into 8 pieces (OR 6 pieces), place on the prepared baking tray, seam-side down, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.

I baked these ‘Choco Chip Cookies’ regularly when my children were young. The amount of Caster Sugar used to be 1/2 cup, but I reduced to 1/4 cup because of my daughter’s health consciousness.
