Question 31

Sanikulas Cookies Steps

Answer 31

Arrowroots are processed. It is pounded and soaked in water. It
is sun-dried and ends up as powder. That’s the flour
they used for San Nicolas cookies. Unlike these days
you can easily buy ingredients from the store. But at
that time, they didn’t even have flour.
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl – cornstarch,
baking powder, salt, sugar, egg yolks, coconut milk,
softened butter, lemon zest, and oil. Blend well with a
wooden spoon. Slowly add the cake flour and the rice
flour, knead it into the mixture till it resembles a thick
dough, and has a smooth surface. Mixing by the hand
should take about 10 minutes till it is smooth and all
ingredients are incorporated.
Place the dough into an airtight container and freezer
for 2 to 4 hours or overnight. When ready to bake, take
the dough out of the freezer and thaw on the counter
for 8 to 10 minutes. Keep the dough very cold so it is
easy to roll out and handle on the heirloom cookie
molds.
Grease with baking spray or shortening the surface of
the San Nicolas mold which has the design. Make sure
to grease the inner crevices and corners so that dough
can be removed easily after shaping. Place a chunk of
the dough, about 4 tablespoons over the San Nicolas
mold, on the hand-carved portion. Flatten with your
hand to spread it around evenly. Place a piece of
parchment or wax paper over the dough, which is over
the wooden mold. Using a rolling pin, roll and flatten
the dough so it gets embedded in the design.
Place a round or oval cookie cutter over the San
Nicolas mold, to cut the dough to the appropriate
shape needed. Trim the edges of the cookie if needed,
whether round or oval. Quickly transfer the molded
dough onto a baking sheet that has parchment paper
or a silicone baking sheet.
Bake Pan de San Nicolas at a preheated oven of 325 F
degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or till top is brown. When
done, cool the cookies on a cookie rack. They will be
crisp on the outside but will have a slightly soft
shortbread texture inside. It will take at least 30-40
minutes for the cookies to cool on the rack. When Pan
de San Nicolas cookies are cooled, wrap in white
cellophane wrappers to show off the intricate designs.
Store in an airtight glass or plastic jar.
