New Year Cookies!

Chinese new year is nearly going to be over...
but I still got to post this =)

Some chinese new year cookies that I've baked in a few hours time...
didn't wanna bake anything for this year as I know i will be bz....
but..i can't resist the temptation!
I've been missing in the Baking world for quite sometime!!


So..here it is!

3 kinds...
and simple...

Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oat Cookies....

Almond Sugee....

And not forgetting these little favourites...
Cornflake cookies!

All cookies are gone now..
most of them given away to relatives and friends...
to me..giving & sharing = happiness!

Unwanted "Friends"...

Hi!! =)

Chinese new year is around the corner!!
Time really flies..
baking time again..
and this year is a super hectic one...
I got to juggle with my time...
my eyes are going to close now...

And guess what...
when I was making my 3rd kind of cookie just now...
something happened...

after creaming one whole block of butter...
i reached out for the cocoa powder..
And i heard Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz from the container..
YICKS!!!!! There's so many bugs in there!!!
& it smells totally like cockroaches!!!
MY GOODNESS...!!
i quickly closed then dump it...
thinking that i can just omit that and use self raising flour alone...

And while i was sieving the flour..OH MY GOODNESS AGAIN..!!!
There are so many eggs of the bugs!!!
All So yucky!!
The expiry date is actually near to 1 year later!
=( so unlucky! And wasted my ingredients!

But luckily I have enough ingredients..
So i proceeded with another recipe...
and finally completed my CNY Baking..

Will blog about it with pics soon!
Sorry for disappearing yeah ? =p

Have a super happy Holiday!!

Chubby Bunny Munching on Crunchy Cookies!

Look who's going on a picnic?

It's Chubby Bunny!!
Her motto for dieting is...
"Chocolates today, Carrots tomorrow!"
Let's party first and work on it later! =)

She brought her beautiful mat, and packets of homemade cookies along~!

Buried in her cookies....

All ready to much on them!

Nom Nom Nom Nom....
Crunchy and delicious!
She said it tasted almost like Famous Amos' Choco chips cookie!

Happy Belated Children's Day!

I wanted something different this year for children's day...
So i decided to bake some cute cookies for my students~!
The horlicks doggie cookies~!

My first try~~
In the making...



ready to bake~~


Some lame faces to show.. =p

Rabbit's teeth...



Vampire!



After baking...
Some cracked..and some went out of shape~!
was abit sad to see that...

All of them had a kind of 'retard' face...
after 3+ hours of hard work...
i decided not to give my students these...and wanna redo...



So...i made it the next day again!

Start now~!~

I wrapped some choco chips into the dough for extra surprise when they bite into it!

Serious me....

All ready to bake!

Tired but satisfied baker!

Doggies Doggies Doggies Doggies Doggies..Many Many Many!!!

But just enough for 7 children...
some for my student's siblings...

Just 1 or 2 cracks this time round!
Yippie!!

Smile!

Packed it up~~

Looks abit dirty~because of the smudged choco nose....
so i told my students...these are 'muddy doggies'
And some wanted more mud on the doggies!! HAHA!!

I'm glad that all of them love it!!
and most of them commented.." SO CUTE!!!!! "
many of them were surprised that i baked these myself... *proud*


i spent 4 hours on this session...quite time consuming, but as long as they are happy...
WHY NOT? =)

I got to bake 2 more times...to ensure all of my students receive freshly baked cookies~~!

by then...it will be a super belated children's day for some of them...!

Cny bakes day no. 3~~

Today i rushed home by cabbie from work..
Started with baking kek lapis...

Ahhhh...
Not nice.. too dry =( & the colour looks yucky!
I baked this for about 4hours..
I pronounce the hand mixer
"DEAD"
So i used a manual balloon whisk.... till now my hands are still aching!
So my hard work should pay off rite?

Hope it will taste better tmr,
as some pple told me that more oil will b "developed" on the next day...



NEXT....

My pineapple tarts!
Trying to make it look like mandarin oranges..HAHAHA
It's very "melty"!
just put it in ur mouth..and it just melts..
Thats wat i want for pineapple tarts!
But quite frustrated with it...its really fragile!

The normal pattern of a pineapple tart..HAHA..
Im too tired to tink about other designs...& no energy to make anymore...
SUPER DUPER TIRED NOW!
Baking for 9 hours is no fun at all =(
I rather bake for leisure with no time limit..

Still have many stuffs to do...



PS: i tried to make almond crisp, but it turned out to be a disaster =(
FAILED!
So i gave up the idea of making seaweed sesami crisp too~~

CNy bakes day no. 2~~

Cookies day again!
I'm dead tired now!
work + bake is really no joke!!!!

My mother made her version of pineapple tart...
My smaller sis and me helped out...
its in the morning...just nice..b4 i go to work...

This smiley face is decorated by my playful younger sis...

And I came home around dinner time...
started to bake cornflake cookies...

Only 3 bottles in total..
Took me such a long long time...
WAH..I feel so lethargic now...
Tmr i will make pineapple tarts & kek lapis after work!
Sure tired too!
*YAWNZ*
