Pooh & Piglet Butter Cookie

Just bought a set of Pooh & Piglet cookier cutter & stamp from Kai Kai shop in Chinatown Point. So decided to make butter cookie using these cute cutter on Tues night as i am on leave for Wed.

I used the recipe from Happy Home baking... she also uses the same set of cutter... http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2007/04/smiles-from-100-aker-wood.html

I started the process abt 11 till 1.30am... wow i didn't expect to use so much time just baking these butter cookies. This was actually due to in-efficency of my micro-wave oven. I can only put 1 small tray each time at 15 min, so total spent of 1hr just for the baking.

After making the dough, i roll out flat & put it in the frigde hopping is easier for cutting out. But i was wrong. It breaks easily & need to be really careful & gently in handling the cut-out dough. after few cuttings, i manage to find a easier way.

Flatten the dough, cut & stamp the pooh, then push the cutter all the way so the edge & onto my hand then tsf to the tray before removing the cutter.

so after all the hard work... these are all my smiling poohs & piglets.

Almond Butter Cookie 2

Another baking of almond butter cookie again after all the good comments from the 1st batch.

This time, i use the colorful tiny beads to decorate instead of the almond flarks. Reasons to make it more attractive for little prince & also i ran out of almond flarks ;)

I tried using my new set of cutters but the dough was too soft to had it cut out nicely. As it was late at nite, i didnt border to keep in fridge for the dough to get harden, just wanted to get it done asap.

These cookies taste yummy, not as sweet as the 1st batch & the texture was so soft that it melts in you mouth. The nieces & nephews finished up all the cookies tdy when i brought to mum's place.

Almond Butter Cookies

You all must be wondering why am i still blogging so late at 2.41am... reason.... baking again. So while waiting for my wholemeal loaf, i update all my bread & cakes.

Almond butter cookies... a recipe from Annie's Cookies Recipe book. I used the star shape cutter to make into star in order to make my prince fancy this cookie.

True enough, he was happy to see these stars...he ate 2 bites.. then return to me. But at least he ate 1 piece that very nite.

Sis & colleagues love it. I will defintely will bake it again soon with less sugar & to decorate with chocolate chips for my Evan.

Ginger Bread Man Cookies

Since Evan likes to eat the Ginger Bread Man cookies, so i gotten the recipe from Yin yin & decided to make some for him as it was not the X'mas season.

the cookies are a bit dry & hard ...could be due to i flattened the dough too thin. the taste are ok & the kids enjoyed decorating their own ginger bread man & gal.
