Cookies!

mei fen came over my place the day before yesterday to bake cookies.

The recipe that i’ve used is the recipe from design*sponge. One of my fav. site. Go and have a look at it. It’s cool and of course, interesting!

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees C, (180 degrees C fan), at least half an hour before baking.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a food mixer or with an electric hand whisk and then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Mix the baking power with the flour and add to the butter/ sugar/egg mixture until a soft dough forms.

Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for half an hour before rolling out on to a well-floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out a quarter of the dough to around 3mm of thickness and using a small sharp knife cut around the templates, placing them on to greaseproof paper on a flat baking tray.

I usually chill one tray of cookies while the other tray is in the oven as it helps them to keep their shape. Bake similar sized shapes together for approximately 6-8 minutes or until nice and brown at the edges. Bake all the larger cookies first and with the remainder of the dough re-knead, roll out and cut all the tiny shapes, baking for less time, approximately 4 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking tray before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

Baking…..

Voila!  Love ♥ shape! so cute! hahaha.

The cookies were yummy and i like the aroma, it has a milky smell and not too sweet. I’m not lying, everyone said that the cookies was delicious.

Try to bake by yourself, it’s easy and takes only 3 hours to do 2 large boxes of cookies. You also can bake it for your loved one. =]

Current me, seems like i really need to have a hair cut. LOL.

p/s:  i’m going to Hatyai tomorrow. ( ya, AGAIN!)
