Butter Cookie Box | Butter & Chocolate Cookie Variations

Cookie Box - This is literally my first time making so many variety patterns of cookies. I made a video on my favourite butter cookie last couple weeks. That was just one variation. In this video I am showing you how to prepare a dough for both piping/squeezing and roll out cookie dough. And also both butter and chocolate cookie variations. Super easy, I hope you are inspired to bake with me at this time. By the way, it's Chinese New Year next week, and I am baking lots of cookies and cake to give away. Enjoy!
FOR FULL RECIPE, please visit my blog at gracioustreatz...
FAQ:
What's the difference between egg white and egg yolk in cookies?
By adding egg whites, the cookie's outcome will be more crispy and firm; whereas adding egg yolk the cookies will be more moist, hence softer.
What is the eggless option?
Check recipe below.
Ingredients:
• Butter Cookies
- Pressed Dough
150g (½cup + 2½tbsp) butter
80g (¼ cup + 2 tbsp) fine sugar or castor
¼ tsp salt
28g (slightly less than 1 egg) egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
180g (1½ cup) cake flour
20g (3 tbsp) almond flour
Roll-Out / Cut-Out Dough
Add additional 3 tbsp cake flour
- Chocolate Cookies
- Pressed Dough
50g (⅓ cup) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
150g (½cup + 2½tbsp) butter
60g (¼ cup + 1 tbsp) fine sugar or castor
¼ tsp salt
28g (slightly less than 1 egg) egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
180g (1½ cup) cake flour
20g (3 tbsp) almond flour
10g (1 ½ tbsp) cocoa powder
- Roll-Out / Cut-Out Dough
Add additional 3 tbsp cake flour
• Cookie Frosting
40g (¼ cup) white chocolate, melted
40g (¼ cup) dark or semisweet chocolate, melted
Garnish with nuts (I used crushed pistachio nuts)
_______________________________________________
Eggless Option:
Replace egg white with 2 tbsp of milk. Also add 2 tbsp cornstarch and sift together with the dry ingredients.
Instructions:
Butter Cookies
- Pressed Cookies
1. Preheat oven at 170°C/340°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar and salt until creamy and pale.
3. Add egg white, mix until combined.
4. Sift the dry ingredients in 2 batches. Use a spatula to fold in until it forms a dough.
5. For pressed cookies, you may transfer into a piping bag or a cookie tool like mine, and start having some fun squeezing the dough.
- Roll-out Cookies
6. For roll-out or cut-out cookies, add additional 3 tbsp of flour into the dough.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 170°C/340°F for about 15-18 min
8. Cool completely for boxing up.

I love this. I am vegan I haven't tried baking it yet. But can you do a video with the eggless option. And where can I buy those lovely cutters?

This video is a masterpiece, Fiona! You made so many cookies with only two dough, I love it!! You made me want get out my cookie press and make them! Such a great job

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi Valentina. I have to admit making this video is quite exhausting. 😝 It took me 2 days. But in actual making these cookies off the camera is pretty easy and fast, can get done within 2 hours. You have a wonderful week! 😍😘❤️🌹

[@CasualCookery]

The cookie box looks so beautiful, the cookies look delicious and the video is soooo relaxing. Watching it before getting to sleep will make me dream about it. 😊😍

It's quite hassle free with the press tool and all the cookies are symmetrical, good for going into a box. Thanks for stopping by, Alina! 🌹❤️😘😍

[@jiteshagrawal1324]

Truly grateful for putting up such videos with absolutely amazing and flawless recipes .

[@TheBigpapax30]

The trick here is to buy good quality ingredients. Trust me I did this recipe buying cheap affordable ingredients at Walmart and oh LORD I couldn't find an amazing taste, they were good, but not that great. When my mother in law made them, hers were AMAZING and I asked what the hell I did wrong if we both followed the instructions to the Z, well surprisingly she bought good quality flour and butter. Who knew!

[@alisa2628]

Do you have brand recommendations?

[@Starforme-xr6sb]

Oh

[@salwasayhi6779]

Exactly ! Especially high protein flour and animal based butter

I had always assumed there would be a different recipe for each different cookie - this looks so manageable! The only thing is I don’t have a cookie press, but it looks like a fun gadget to have! I imagine I could use whatever flavourings in the plain butter cookie recipe to zhuzh them up for Christmas etc?
