    Instructions

    • Make the pandan extract by blending the pandan leaves and water together.
      Strain out the solids and let the mixture sit for a few hours.
      Then, scoop out the water from the top of mixture to leave behind a concentrated pandan extract.

    • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the Emborg Cook & Bake and sugar together. Once combined, add the egg yolks and pandan extract and continue beating until smooth.

    • Add the flour and salt to the mixer, little by little.
      Scrape down the sides periodically to ensure that everything gets mixed in.

    • Once a dough is formed, divide into two and form into discs. Wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them chilled for at least 2 hours.

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is 0.5 cm thick.

    • Using a floured embossed rolling pin, perform one continuous roll on the dough, with just enough pressure to leave an imprint.

    • Cut out circles from the dough with a 5 cm cookie cutter. Remove the excess dough – you can wrap this excess dough in cling wrap and store it in the chiller ready to re-roll to make another batch of cookies.

    • Place the cut-out dough circles on a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan and put in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

    • Slide off the cookie circles and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. You don't need much space between the cookie circles as they do not spread as they bake.

    • Bake in the oven at 180°C for 8–10 minutes until set.

    • Transfer onto a cooling rack to cool.

    • To make the buttercream: In a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the Emborg Cook & Bake and salt together.

    • Then, sift in powdered sugar bit by bit while the mixer is running on low speed. Scrape down the sides periodically to mix in evenly.

    • Add the Emborg Whipping Cream to thin out the mixture slightly and, lastly, mix in the gula melaka. Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag.

    • To assemble the cookies, spread about 1 tbsp of the buttercream between the undecorated sides of the cookie circles. Store in an airtight cookie jar.
