Fried Sugar Cookies image

I grew up eating these crispy little Japanese cookie snacks called Karinto. Tastes a little like crunchy glazed donuts. You can buy these made with white sugar or brown. Cook time will change depending on how thick you cut your pieces. Okay, I've made these twice now ... just can't get them to come out with the right amount of crunch. If you try these, please know that this recipe needs a little 'help'.

Time 35m

Yield 25 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/3 tablespoons sugar (brown or white)
1 pinch salt
1 egg

1/2 cup sugar (brown or white)
2 1/2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Sift flour and baking powder together.
