Melt-in-mouth German Cookies 德式酥饼

A small request from my dear Tiger, the “German Cookies”, thus we baked this small batch as the first trial after our dinner. The dough is soft and kind of difficult to roll, but I still able to cope by applying some cooking oil in my palm when roll the small balls. Lucky me.

It’s indeed melt-in-mouth and very buttery fragrant with the SCS butter. Lovely, both of us like it much and shall find time to bake again.
