日本では３月14日はホワイトデーです。娘に頼まれて、とてもシンプルなクッキー（プレーンとココア味）を作りました。
I turned some cookie dough into a thin sheet to use it as a base for rare cheese cake. I somehow hate the idea of crushing crackers, adding some butter to them, and use them as a base.
クッキーの生地を少し薄いシート状にして、レアチーズケーキの土台にしました。なぜか、クラッカーを砕いて、バターを足して、土台にするのが好きではないので。
I baked the sheet in the toaster oven for about 8 min.
シートをオーブントースターで８分くらい焼きました。
Sorry for the ugly photo. It was good!
醜い写真ですみません。美味しかったです！
Really cute cookies! I think it's the first time I see cookies made by you! (I have already seen cheesecakes, but never cookies!). You are so kind to bake them for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI have heard just a bit about the White Day. I must google some more information.

ReplyDeleteThose look delicious! I think the point of crumbling the cookies is so that the crust is nice and tender and easy to cut through with a fork. When baked in a solid sheet, the crust tends to be tougher. But yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI read news this morning that there was another earthquake, near Hokkaido. Just wanted to check on you and make sure you're safe. I wasn't sure where 'Snow Country' is, but somewhere in Hokkaido was my guess. (Incidentally, that's where my grandmother was from) At any rate, please let us know you and you're family are safe! Gambatte neh?
Sissi: My daughter asked me to make the same cookies as those that my dauther and I made for Valentine's Day, on Valentine's Day! I decided to make some changes and I also decided to make rare cheesecake (another favorite of hers).
ReplyDeleteI talked with my wife, and she said she wanted one or two cans of non-alcoholic drink for White Day.
Now you know how frugal my family is!
muskratbyte: Cheesecake is high in calories, and I hate the idea of adding more calories by adding butter to the base. I thought that if the base was thin enough, it would become soft due to the moisture from the cheesecake. My daughter said the base was still tough, and she had to break it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concerns, but we even didn't feel the earthquake because the intensity 震度 was only 1 here.
The word yukiguni (yuki (snow) + guni (< kuni (country)) can be used to refer to any area where a considerable amount of snow falls in the winter, but the locale of the novel, Yukiguni, written by Kawabata is Yuzawa, Niigata prefecture, which is adjacent to my city.
For non-baked cheese/cream cakes I also use a sponge cake bottom layer. Sponge cake is made from flour, egg yolks/whites and sugar only - no extra fat or not as fat as shortcake crumbs with butter. And it is soft. But your cake looked nice and the cookies too so no way she could have some complains. At least we all got teeth...
ReplyDeleteKiki: Thanks for the suggestion, but sponge cake kind of puts me off as well...
ReplyDeleteI guess I should have baked meringue...
Anyway, my daughter liked both of my cookies and cheesecake very much. I gave some of the cookies and one-fourth of the cheesecake to the friend of hers who gave me a piece of chocolate on Valentine's Day. Her family said that they were good!
