CNY butter cookies ..


been pretty held up with work lately .. but still manage to " squeeeeezzee " out some time to " wreck up " my kitchen again lol ... but sharing here today is something very very easy and simple cause i'm baking with what's available in my kitchen ( i'm so lazy to source for ingredients !! ) haha ...

so let's check out what's left in my storage ..


INGREDIENTS

80 g margarine / butter
60g castor sugar
1 egg
100g flour
10g corn flour
10g milk powder
1 tsp baking powder


and since new year is just around the corner ..
this is CNY cookies recipe will be perfect for people who bakes ..


6 easy quick steps .

1. mix butter / margarine and castor sugar and beat till creamy
2. Add egg and mix evenly
3. Add flour , corn flour and milk powder to mix evenly
4. place dough on tracing paper and roll cookie dough to about 10 mm thickness
5. cut dough with cookie cutter ( i'm using a star shape )
6. preheat the oven to 160 degrees c and bake for 18 minutes


and after 18 mins ....


freshly bake butter cookies !! =D



FOOD STYLING TIME !

i specially did up something for this festive season ..



DUNCAN'S CNY BUTTER COOKIES


though butter cookies are commonly found everywhere and easy to bake
but i really hope what i did today will still be relished . =p
bye peeps ! ^-^



on a side note .. china heaviest unusual snow storm in 50 years have wrecked havoc on the country economy , meanwhile thousand of cars are trapped on highways , millions of people are stranded at airports and causing deaths too .. in spore we are so fortunate not to go thru this deadly climate disaster attack , so let's hope this will soon be over and everyone will able to spend their new year in peace =)

i think any shape also not an issue , most important is creativity which you always have as i could see you always come out with baking stuff that are not so commonly found and flavors as well if not your blog wont attract so many viewers i suppose . =)

catch a falling star and put it in your pocket , never let it fade away.

But for these "stars" , should be in your tumy instead.

Anyway , another brilliant concoction during this CNY.

You can check out recipe for snowball cookies. It's used to be one of my kitchen's fav bakes.

U sld start saying NO to people and be firm with your decision. Though you are always that Mr Nice guy. What the point? hurting yourself. That is so silly. Memories can be and will fade off. Never regret and always Look forward. Not asking you to be heartless but thats realility.
