Konnichiwa!
My mom bought some Golden Churn salted butter. So, after class, I baked Japanese Parmesan Cheese Stick with my bestie. And, a lesson learnt from today's experience: Do not simply use salted butter! My Parmesan cheese is salty in taste, plus the salted butter...my cheese stick is kinda salty in the end.

My cheese sticks

My aunt ordered me to bake some cheese sticks after she tried the cheese sticks from Taka. So, I bought the ingredients from supermarket. I got the recipe from a kawaii Japanese blogger and this is the website of her blog: http://createeathappy.blogspot.com
Make delicious cookie with 4 simple main ingredients. Easy to make, taste nice too! Before that, I was worried that I can't find grated Parmesan cheese in my area but I found it at last. It's not cheap. 250g for RM20.50. Ouch! The picture below is the grated Parmesan cheese I bought, brand - Floridia, from Australia.

Original recipe is here.

I changed the temperature and also the time to bake it. It's because the shape and size of hers is bigger than mine. I tried to bake my cookies with 180C for 15 minutes, however, my cookies look dark in colour after baking, so I changed it to 170C (10 minutes).

【Japanese Parmesan Cheese Stick】
