HANAMI DANGO Cookies

I love Japanese dango dumplings! It's chewy and gooey!!! Hope you like these Japanese traditional sweets!!! Enjoy ☆ *Please be careful if your kids eat this. They could choke on Dango.

These tri-colour dango dumplings sold at Japanese confectionery shops usually contain Japanese mugwort. Since my second son doesn't like it, I tried making my own tri-colour dango without it.Please adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Color the dough lightly with just a small amount of food coloring. The color of the dango with darken once boiled. Recipe by Chikayan

I came up with this recipe as a way to use up rice flour. I'm always in the mood for mitarashi dango, so I prepped these easily in the microwave.I was able to make about 15 dumplings the size of a ping-pong ball. These dumplings also taste great grilled after boiling. Recipe by chiroemi

I was wondering if I could make something out of leftover dango flour.Roll the dough thin! Also, Yatsuhashi is best eaten right away. It will harden after 2 or 3 days. Recipe by Yurigu-

I make cookies every year using sakura leaves or tea. (I make my regular cookie recipe, but add sakura leaves)I had a bit of Sakura-an leftover and decided to knead it into the cookie dough.These cookies are mildly sweet, so feel free to increase the powdered sugar for sweeter cookies.You could make this with any kind of bean paste if you don't have sakura-an. You can also shape the cookies into rounds by hand rather than using a cookie cutter. Recipe by Makunouchi

I made a prettier version of a recipe I uploaded previously,If you use 50 g of shiratamako (glutinous rice flour with a little katakuriko potato starch flour added) and 10 g of joshinko (regular rice flour) instead of 60 g of shiratamako, the dough will be chewier. If you prefer a tender texture, make the dough with shiratamako only.I recommend using silken tofu. The basic ratio of rice flour to tofu is 1:1, but adjust the amounts so that the dough will have the texture and feel of your earlobe. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO

I needed to use up an egg yolk.I had a tiny bit of matcha on hand, so I used it up.Be careful not to set the cooking temperature get too high, or over bake the cookies. If you do, the matcha color will become browned. Recipe by Mamyuchoko

I like user "Hitohitonomoto's" "Gooey One Bite Snack with Okara"and they are easy to make and tasty. I like it so much so I make them everyday. I also like user "Meifan's" "Gooey Sweet Snacks with Okara, Adzuki, and Green Tea"This is tasty too.After trying these recipes, I made my own Japanese-style dessert recipe.With these ingredients you will make about 10 that's 2 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick. The freshly made ones are very fluffy and after they cool in the fridge, they are moist and tasty. You can keep in the freezer. Personally I like to eat frozen ones. Recipe by Aohato

I thought sakura flavoured, sakura patterned cookies would be so cute, so I decided to make them. At first cutting out the sakura patterns is fun, but it is a lot of work and can be tedious and tiring. This is why I recommend doing the reversible and marbled cookies.The dough can be sticky, so make sure to dust it with plenty of flour. Roll out the dough over a sheet of plastic wrap before cutting out the pattern. Dust the pattern cutter with flour as well. To keep the colour from browning too much in the oven, cover the cookies with aluminum foil before baking. Recipe by Monakasan

I thought that matcha and adzuki beans is a nice combination, so I tried making something with them.* When you're wrapping and shaping the dough in Step 4, try not to incorporate too much air.* When you're cutting in Step 5, if the shape collapses, fix it with your hands. Recipe by nasubeam

These cookies are the second recipe in my Ghibli cookie series!! You can make lots of variations with just 4 basic types of colored dough.It might be a good idea to make these while looking at pictures of Ponyo. Recipe by *chura*

I was inspired by another user's recipe for buckwheat and tofu dango (Recipe: 2039400) and modified it with simmered hijiki.Serve them right when they're done as they'll be chewy and soft. You can also add them to hot pots or to miso soup. Replace the simmered hijiki for kinpira stir-fry for another spin. Recipe by miyuki12

I wanted to make a crunchy sable cookies with the fragrance of sakura and a hint of salt. This recipe is the result of a lot of trial and errorThe cookies will become rather salty the sakura (cherry blossoms) for the garnish are large, so use small ones or cut them up before use. It's enough if you have about 15 g of sakura for the garnish and dough combined.Sucre crystal is just large-granule sugar, so you can use regular granulated sugar instead. Recipe by Malon Love

I created this recipe because I wanted to use up a batch of tofu.You don't need oil when you're browning the dango. You can also use a mochi cake grill to brown the dango balls. If you are not planning to eat them all at once, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. They will still be soft the next day. Recipe by Mayatan

I wanted to eat Japanese sweets that wasn't too sweet, and came up with this recipe!When boiling the dango, drop in boiling water, and once they float to the surface, they are done.Adding mirin makes the sauce lustrous and gives a delicious shine. If you simmer the sauce for too long during Step 3, it will become salty from the soy sauce, so be careful (But simmer until it's thickened.) Recipe by Mari-

I thought kabocha and sesame would go well together, so I tried making this. I only used a little sesame, but it was enough.If you have an aluminium tray in your freezer, place your cookies on that and they will harden more quickly. The photo for step 4 shows it on a tray. You can make different versions using chopped raisins, chocolate, brandy or rum etc.Kabocha tends to rot or turn bad quickly when there are seeds left in, so if you want to store it, it's always a good idea to remove the seeds first, heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, divide into small portions and freeze. Recipe by mini

I wanted to make cherry blossom cookies that I could gift to friends.・If the sakura an is watery, microwave for about 1 minute without wrapping to evaporate the moisture. Use the paste once it has cooled.・Adjust the amount of white sugar according to the sweetness of the sakura an. Recipe by Azunyarosu

These are whole wheat flour macrobiotic cookies. The recipe doesn't use eggs or dairy products, so these cookies make a nice snack for those with food allergies.Just mix together and bake.If you're not keen on the idea of not using any sweeteners, add a tablespoon of maple syrup, or other natural sweetener.The picture shows cookies made from unskinned almond flour, so they are a bit lumpy. You could also make these with blanched almond flour. Recipe by Mikikimiki

I used to make easy spritz cookies but decided to arrange the cookies as a gift for hina matsuri. As usual it's hassle free but I wanted to make something that looks a bit elegant and sophisticated.It's better not to use vanilla essence or butter if you want to maintain its Japanese flavor. Please enjoy the anko and matcha flavor. Recipe by Yuu choco mama

This is a healthy macrobiotic version of a specialty from Kumamoto Prefecture.The vegetable oil is used to prevent the mochi from hardening. In conventional recipes for these dango, sugar is used to prevent them from becoming stale. For those concerned about calorie intake, please omit the sugar. I use 30 g of dough per dango for large sweet potatoes, and 20 g for small sweet potatoes. Recipe by Ruruko

Please enjoy the aromatic flavor of winter's delight as a baked treat.It's also great with nuts mixed inside.I think you can use yuzu jam instead of yuzu tea. Recipe by Okatsugi

Kinako and adzuki go really well together.-If the dough in Step 3 is too crumbly and will not come together, push it down firmly when you wrap it in plastic wrap in Step 4. It will come together.-If the dough crumbles when you cut the cookies in Step 5, just use your fingers to repair. Recipe by nasubeam

I based this off a friend's recipe for plain shortbread cookies.Change the shape and size of the dough to your liking at Step 7.Adjust the baking time if necessary, depending on your oven.I used the pink sanding sugar because of the cherry blossom version, but the white sugar would be nice too. Recipe by MeguBroaden

I served these for the Tanabata festival (Star festival).I made the sauce less sweet since I prefer it that way, but make it as sweet as you like. For the tofu, you can use silken or firm but do not drain. If there isn't enough liquid in the dough, you could add water, but adding more tofu will result in chewier and softer dango.(Recipe by commeline)

I didn't have enough matcha , so I tried with green tea leaves. The result was amazingly high in quality. Guests and friends have said that the slight bitterness is delicious, plus tea leaves are cheaper.If you freeze the dough, you can cut it easily. If the chocolate is too hard, roll the dough with a rolling pin on both sides and cut it slowly. If the dough falls apart, just stick it together again with your fingers and it'll be fine. Use tea leaves that are deep green, and pulverize to a fine powder. Add a little matcha for color. Recipe by mini

These cookies are a big mish-mash between so many different, terrific cookies to make one amazing cookie. Recipe source : Sallys Cookie Addiction Cookbook.

These are by far my favourite cookie. This recipe makes a zillion cookies, but don't worry the dough and cookies freeze great.

I saw some parody sweets on Cookpad. I wanted to make some myself, so I came up with this recipe.It's only the ingredients that are different, and everything else is just like making gyoza. You really won't feel like you're baking... Not like actual gyoza skins, these mock 'skins' are fragile and will easily tear apart. So, try to work quickly.You can really taste the raisins and spices in these. Recipe by Majoshi san

I was test-baking these cookies to give them to a friend of mine who loves the Ghibli characters. They came out rather cute, so I thought that I should post the recipe.Use a bamboo skewer to carefully align the black sesame seeds to make the patterns on Totoro's belly. For about 20 cookies.
