Use your hands to press the dough into the spring form.

I would like to make boterkoek in small (about 12 cm in diameter and 2cm high) baking pans (they have removable bottoms). How long should I bake them and at what temperature? Is the texture when baked more of a cake or cookie?

Hi Linda, since the thickness of the boterkoek should be the same for 12 cm baking tins (maybe use a bit less dough) you can bake them at 180 degrees celsius (350 f.) for 25 - 30 minutes. The texture isn't like any regular cake or cookie, it's quite dense and solid. Just ask if you have more questions!

So, how thick is the uncooked dough in the pan, about 1.5 cm?
Ohmydish says on 2016-12-02
Hi Linda, 1,5 cm would be about right :) And the uncooked dough has the same thickness as the final cake, since it's condensed.
