Cute and Easy Spritz Cookies for Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) step by step
- For a variation on this recipe, see.
- Melt the margarine and milk in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. I recommend using margarine to play up the flavors of matcha and anko..
- Add in the sugar and mix well..
- Add the flour and mix. There's no need to sift..
- Divide the dough roughly into 4 parts. Mix in about the same amount of anko (not listed in ingredients) as the dough..
- The anko dough will be a larger quantity due to the addition of anko so take care to set aside a smaller portion..
- Make the red food coloring cookie dough and matcha dough. Adjust the food coloring/matcha powder according to your own taste..
- Stack each dough on a piece of plastic wrap..
- Roll the wrap as though you are using a sushi rolling mat. Take care not to roll the plastic wrap into the dough..
- Put the plastic-wrapped roll into a pastry bag. A bigger pastry bag will be easier to use. Here, I used a star-shaped tip..
- Pipe the dough in a circular fashion. The individual colored dough will come out beautifully together..
- Piping a wavy pattern is beautiful too..
- If you pipe the dough into smaller cookies, they'll be similar to hina arare (Doll Festival cookies) and look cuter..
- If decorating with dragées they should be sprinkled on the cookie dough before baking. If decorating with chocolate wait until the cookies are baked..
- Preheat oven to 170°C (338 Fahrenheit). Bake for 12-15 minutes at 170°C (338 Fahrenheit). Adjust time according to the brownness of the cookies..
- Even a little bit of decoration makes these cookies cute! The kids loved them..
- Decorated with sugar craft. It's ideal for times when you want to make just a little. https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/146717-sugar-crafted-flowers.
