Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] On the other hand, by making cuts in the cookies, for example, when the cookies are subjected to an external impact during transportation, the cookies may accidentally break.

[0006] However, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not consider the situation where the cookies may accidentally break due to an external impact during transportation. Therefore, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem of low durability of the cookies.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a cookie confection that can be cut and is highly durable, a method for manufacturing a cookie confection, and a cookie dough nozzle for manufacturing a cookie confection that can be cut and is highly durable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The cookie dough nozzle according to the first invention is characterized by comprising a substantially cylindrical nozzle that discharges cookie dough from an outlet, and a linear filter having two or more contact points with the inner diameter of the nozzle in the cross-sectional shape of the nozzle in the discharge direction.

[0009] The cookie dough nozzle according to the second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the filter is provided at a distance of 2 cm or more and 12 cm or less from the discharge port of the nozzle.

[0010] The cookie confectionery according to the third invention is characterized by using cookie dough discharged from the discharge port of the cookie dough nozzle according to the first or second invention.

[0011] The cookie confectionery according to the fourth invention is characterized in that, in the third invention, 25% or more of the components contained in the cookie dough are fats and oils, 7% or more are sugars, and 30% or more are wheat flours.

[0012] The cookie confectionery according to the fifth invention is characterized in that, in the fourth invention, the cookie dough is cut to a length of 6 mm or more.

[0013] The method for manufacturing cookie confectionery according to the sixth invention is characterized by baking the cookie dough discharged from the discharge port of a cookie dough nozzle, which comprises a substantially cylindrical nozzle for discharging cookie dough from the discharge port and a linear filter having two or more contact points with the inner diameter of the nozzle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the first to sixth inventions, the cookie dough nozzle comprises a substantially cylindrical nozzle and a linear filter having at least two contact points with the inner diameter of the nozzle. As a result, as the cookie dough is discharged from the nozzle, cuts are made in the cookie dough as it passes through the filter, dividing it into two or more pieces. Therefore, it is possible to provide a cookie confection that is cut and highly durable, a method for manufacturing a cookie confection, and a cookie dough nozzle for manufacturing a cookie confection that is cut and highly durable.

[0015] In particular, according to the second invention, the filter is provided at a distance of 2 cm or more and 12 cm or less from the nozzle's discharge port. As a result, when the cookie dough passes through the filter, is cut, and is discharged from the nozzle's discharge port, the appropriate distance from the nozzle's discharge port to the discharge port allows a portion of the cut cookie dough to be loosely adhered. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture cookie confectionery that is cut and more durable.

[0016] In particular, according to the fourth invention, the cookie dough contains at least 25% fat, at least 7% sugar, and at least 30% wheat flour. As a result, the high proportion of fat and wheat flour in the cookie dough causes the outer top of the cookie dough to melt during baking, and the sugar in the melted dough hardens, welding the gaps between the cuts. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a cookie that can be cut and is more durable.

[0017] In particular, according to the fifth invention, the cookie confection uses cookie dough cut to a length of 6 mm or more. This makes it possible to create cookie confections that are sufficiently thick and easy to divide when baking. Furthermore, the greater the thickness of the cookie confection, the greater the need for division, so this method works more effectively. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] An example of the cookie 1 in this embodiment will be described while referring to the drawings.

[0020] Fig. 1(a) is a perspective view of the cookie 1 in this embodiment. Fig. 1(b) is a front view of the cookie 1 in this embodiment.

[0021] The cookie 1 is, for example, a tapered cookie in which the diameter b of the lower surface 13 is larger than the diameter a of the upper surface 12 as shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b). The cookie 1 has, for example, a cut 11 for dividing the cookie 1 into two or more pieces. The cookie 1 is formed such that the diameter a of the upper surface 12 is, for example, 20 mm to 35 mm. The cookie 1 is formed such that the diameter b of the lower surface 13 is, for example, 48 mm to 60 mm. The cookie 1 is formed such that the height c from the upper surface 12 to the lower surface 13 is, for example, 10 mm to 25 mm.

[0022] Next, an example of cookie dough 10 for manufacturing the cookie confectionery 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] Figure 2(a) is a top view showing an example of the cookie dough 10 in this embodiment. Figure 2(b) is a front view showing an example of the cookie dough 10 in this embodiment. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the cookie dough nozzle 2 in this embodiment. The cookie dough 10 is a dough for manufacturing the cookie confectionery 1. The cookie dough 10 may, for example, contain 30% or more fat and oil, 15% or more sugar, and 40% or more wheat flour, but is not limited to this; it may contain 25% or more fat and oil, 7% or more sugar, and 30% or more wheat flour. The cookie dough 10 may contain, for example, 0% or 3% or less eggs. The cookie dough 10 may also be formed into a substantially cylindrical shape by being discharged from the discharge port 21 of the cookie dough nozzle 2, as shown in Figure 3. The cookie dough 10 may also be cut into a substantially cylindrical shape, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b). In such cases, it is preferable that the cookie dough 10 be cut so that its length f is 10 mm or more, but this is not required, and it is acceptable if it is 6 mm or more.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the cookie dough nozzle 2 is a substantially cylindrical nozzle for shaping the cookie dough 10 into a substantially cylindrical shape. The cookie dough nozzle 2 shapes the cookie dough 10 into a substantially cylindrical shape by discharging the cookie dough 10 from the discharge port 21 in the discharge direction x. The cookie dough nozzle 2 may also be formed in a tapered shape, with its diameter decreasing towards the discharge port 21.

[0025] Figure 4 shows an example of a cross-section of the cookie dough nozzle 2 in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 4, the cookie dough nozzle 2 has a linear filter 3 inside which has at least two contact points with the inner diameter of the cookie dough nozzle 2. The filter 3 is provided in the cookie dough nozzle 2 such that the distance d from the discharge port 21 to the filter 3 is 2 cm or more and 12 cm or less.

[0026] Figure 5 is a view from the discharge direction x, showing an example of the filter 3 in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the filter 3 is a linear filter having at least two or more contact points with the inner diameter of the cookie dough nozzle 2. The filter 3 may also be a three-pronged shape, for example, as shown in Figure 5, where three straight lines that contact the inner diameter of the cookie dough nozzle 2 at three points intersect at the center. Alternatively, the filter 3 may be any shape that divides the inner diameter of the cookie dough nozzle 2 into two or more parts.

[0027] Next, the method for manufacturing the cookie confectionery 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 6 shows an example of the operation for manufacturing the cookie confectionery 1 in this embodiment.

[0028] First, in step S10, the cookie dough 10 is mixed. In step S10, for example, the cookie dough 10 may be mixed such that 25% or more of the ingredients in the dough are fat, 7% or more are sugar, and 30% or more are wheat flour. Alternatively, in this case, the cookie dough 10 may be mixed such that the proportion of eggs in the cookie dough 10 is 3% or less, or the cookie dough 10 may be mixed without including any eggs.

[0029] Next, in step S11, the cookie dough 10 is shaped. In step S11, the cookie dough 10 mixed in step S10 is placed into the cookie dough nozzle 2, and the cookie dough 10 is discharged from the discharge port 21 of the cookie dough nozzle 2, thereby shaping the cookie dough 10 into a roughly cylindrical shape. Also in step S11, the cookie dough 10 passes through the filter 3 inside the cookie dough nozzle 2, and cuts 11 are made in the cookie dough 10 so that the cross section in the discharge direction x is divided into two or more parts, depending on the shape of the filter 3. In step S11, for example, if a three-pronged filter 3 is used, the cookie dough 10 is divided into three parts in a three-pronged shape.

[0030] Furthermore, in step S11, the cookie dough 10, which has been cut 11 by passing through the filter 3 in the cookie dough nozzle 2, has a portion of the cut 11 loosely bonded, depending on the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21. Table 1 shows the division status of the cookie confectionery 1 for each distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21. As shown in Table 1, the adhesive strength of this loose bond of the cut 11 increases with the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21. For example, if the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21 is 1 cm or less, the cookie dough 10 is not loosely bonded and is discharged from the discharge port 21 in a divided state by the cut 11. Also, for example, if the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21 is 12 cm or more, the cut 11 of the cookie dough 10 will be strongly bonded, making it difficult to break the baked cookie confectionery 1. For this reason, the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21 is preferably 6 cm or more and 10 cm or less, but it is not limited to this and may be 2 cm or more and 12 cm or less. Furthermore, the distance d from the filter 3 to the discharge port 21 may be changed according to the proportion of ingredients contained in the cookie dough 10. [Table 1]

[0031] Next, in step S12, the cookie dough 10 is cut. In step S12, the cookie dough 10, which has been shaped into a roughly cylindrical shape in step S11, is cut into pieces that are, for example, 10 mm or longer in length, but is not limited to this, and any length of 6 mm or longer is acceptable.

[0032] Next, in step S13, the cookie dough 10 is baked. In step S13, the cookie dough 10 cut in step S12 is baked. In this case, the outer top of the baked cookie dough 10 melts, and the sugar contained in the melted cookie dough 10 hardens to weld the cuts 11 together.

[0033] The manufacturing of the cookie confectionery 1 in this embodiment is completed by the process described above. Furthermore, the manufacturing of the cookie confectionery 1 in this embodiment is not limited to the method and procedure described above, but may be carried out by any method and procedure.

[0034] The cookie confectionery 1 according to this embodiment has been described above. The cookie dough nozzle 2 according to this embodiment includes a linear filter 3 having at least two or more contact points with the inner diameter of the cookie dough nozzle 2. As a result, in the process of the cookie dough 10 being discharged from the cookie dough nozzle 2, cuts 11 are made in the cookie dough 10 as it passes through the filter 3 so as to divide it into at least two or more parts. Therefore, it is possible to provide a cookie confectionery 1 that has cuts 11 and is highly durable, a method for manufacturing the cookie confectionery 1, and a cookie dough nozzle 2 for manufacturing a cookie confectionery 1 that has cuts 11 and is highly durable.

[0035] The filter 3 according to this embodiment is provided at a distance of 2 cm or more and 12 cm or less from the discharge port 21 of the cookie dough nozzle 2. As a result, when the cookie dough 10 passes through the filter 3, a cut 11 is made, and it is discharged from the discharge port 21 of the cookie dough nozzle 2, the appropriate distance from the discharge port 21 of the cookie dough nozzle 2 to the discharge port allows a portion of the cookie dough 10 with the cut 11 to be loosely adhered. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a cookie confectionery 1 with a cut 11 and greater durability.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cookie confectionery 1 contains 25% or more fat, 7% or more sugar, and 30% or more wheat flour in the cookie dough 10. As a result, the proportion of fat and wheat flour in the cookie dough 10 is high, so when the cookie dough 10 is baked, the outer top of the cookie dough 10 melts, and the sugar contained in the melted cookie dough 10 hardens like welding the gaps between the cuts 11. Therefore, it is possible to make a cookie confectionery 1 with cuts 11 and greater durability.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cookie confectionery 1 contains 3% or less of eggs in the cookie dough 10. As a result, when baking the cookie dough 10, because the proportion of leavening agents such as eggs in the cookie dough 10 is low, even if cuts 11 are made in the cookie dough 10, the cuts 11 will not be noticeable, and the cookie can be baked beautifully.

[0038] The cookie confectionery 1 according to this embodiment uses cookie dough 10 that has been cut to a length of 6 mm or more. This makes it possible to bake a cookie confectionery 1 of sufficient thickness even if a part of the cookie dough 10 melts when it is baked.

These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
