Delight Your Valentine with Homemade Thermomix Cookies

Description

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show your loved ones how much you care. And what better way to do it than by baking delicious homemade cookies with your Thermomix? This recipe will guide you through the process of making mouthwatering cookies that are sure to delight your Valentine. With a combination of simple ingredients and the convenience of your Thermomix, you’ll be able to create a sweet treat that will leave a lasting impression.

Ingredients:

250g unsalted butter, softened

200g granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

400g all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Red food coloring (optional)

Heart-shaped cookie cutters

Preparation:

Step 1: Creaming the Butter and Sugar

Temperature: 37°C

Time: 2 minutes

In the mixing bowl of your Thermomix, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Mix at 37°C for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.

Step 2: Adding Vanilla Extract and Eggs

Temperature: 37°C

Time: 2 minutes

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter and sugar mixture in the Thermomix bowl. Mix at 37°C for 2 minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3: Incorporating Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt

Time: 3 minutes

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the Thermomix bowl while mixing at a low speed for about 3 minutes. The dough should come together and form a ball-like consistency.

Step 4: Adding Red Food Coloring (Optional)

If you want to give your cookies a festive touch, now is the time to add a few drops of red food coloring to the dough. Mix for an additional minute until the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5: Chilling the Dough

Time: 30 minutes

Remove the dough from the Thermomix bowl and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and shape later on.

Step 6: Preheating the Oven

Temperature: 180°C

While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180°C to ensure it reaches the desired temperature by the time you’re ready to bake your cookies.

Step 7: Rolling and Cutting the Cookies

After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Using heart-shaped cookie cutters, cut out as many cookies as you can from the dough. Place the cut-out cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.

Step 8: Baking the Cookies

Temperature: 180°C

Time: 10-12 minutes

Place the baking sheet with the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.

Step 9: Cooling and Decorating

Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

When the cookies have cooled, you can decorate them with icing, sprinkles, or any other decorative toppings of your choice. Get creative and make them extra special for your Valentine!

Your homemade Thermomix Valentine’s Day cookies are now ready to be enjoyed. Share them with your loved ones and spread the love on this special day!
