Ingredients
Method
Butter Cookie Base
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with butter/parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk butter, and sugar until creamy and pale.
- Sift in the flour, cornflour, and salt. Use a spatula to fold in until it forms a dough. You can also employ your fingers to form a dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Roll out the dough evenly. Score the dough in the preferred shape and prick the surface with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 15-20min or until the base is a little brown.
- Set aside for cooling.
Nut Caramel
- In a flat bottom pan dry roast almonds, watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- In a saucepan, add butter, sugar, honey, and heavy cream.
- Cook over medium heat until butter is melted and bring it to a boil.
- Then lower the heat and continue cooking until the sauce is thickened and the volume will decrease.
- Then add in the roasted almonds and seeds. Continue cooking until the mixture is thick and gluey.
- Remove from the heat. Immediately transfer over the baked crust.
- Use a spatula to spread the mixture as evenly as possible.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 15 min or until the brown you desire.
- Cut the cookie while it’s still a little warm. Once it’s completely cooled, the cutting will be slightly more difficult.
- Store them in an air-tight container or serve after they have cooled completely.
Notes
- You can add your favourite nuts, seeds and dry fruits such as dried cranberry, walnuts, raisins etc.
- Cut the cookies while they are still warm.
- Before storing make they are completely cooled.
