Detailed Steps for Making Grape Cookies

Prepare ingredients: Low-gluten flour: 125g, Unsalted butter: 50g, Powdered sugar: 30g, Whole egg liquid: 20g, Fruit powder: as needed, Matcha powder: as needed

Soften the butter at room temperature, add powdered sugar, and beat with an egg beater until fluffy.

Add the beaten whole egg liquid in three portions, and beat with an egg beater until the egg liquid is evenly absorbed.

Sift the low-gluten flour into the mixture that has been beaten well, and knead into a dough.

Take two small pieces of the original dough, knead them separately with fruit powder and matcha powder.

Wrap the three-colored dough in plastic wrap, roll it into sheets, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Take out the chilled dough. Place parchment paper under the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and roll it into thin sheets about 2mm thick.

Trim the edges of the dough sheet neatly. Divide it into six equal parts for the main body of the cookies.

Roll the green dough into thin sheets and use a mold to cut out leaf shapes.

Create grape-shaped pieces of varying sizes with the purple dough.

Arrange the grape pieces and leaves on the cookie main bodies as desired. After assembly, use a knife to cut the grapes connecting each cookie. Leave a slight gap between each cookie.

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Place on the middle rack, bake at 160 degrees for 15 minutes, and cover with foil for the last two minutes to prevent browning. Adjust baking time and temperature based on the quantity and oven conditions.

Here is a poem “Praising Grapes” for everyone: In the western garden after dusk, the coolness floats gently, picking grapes leisurely. Purple clusters hang high like intertwined ropes, a branch slants with golden treasures.

The wind rustles the leaves vividly, the butterfly’s sound makes the weather clear. The divine dragon lurks in the cold pond at night, but the wet clouds cannot take flight.

The beautiful lady of the Shi family strolls in the golden valley, with green curtains and coral hooks. New offerings on jade plates enter the splendid chamber, pearl curtains hang high and never close at night.

Remembering the scenery of the past victorious trip, the clear air chills to the bone. Laughing at the bright mirror reflecting the distant sky, leaning on the silver bed, playing with the autumn shadows.
