Recipe from my 500 cookies book.
Last Sunday is my last facial session with my delicate beautician Karen as i have finish my facial package. So i decided to make some cookies for her as a farewell gift. She is my second favour beautician i have even met so far with passion in their job with the customer.
I would like to talk more about her. She is really a nice nice beautician i have even met. The time when i go for my regular facial when i was still using my sister package with adonis and she is the one who help me with the facial. What a coincidental when i go for my 2nd and 3rd, Karen is the one doing facial for me. And slowly we talk alot alot and she told me alot of her life experience when she will in her youthful time.
She is Malaysian but converted to Singaporean and i can see that she is really proud to be a Singaporean as she told me she is proud and honour to collected her pink IC.
I enjoy my facial whenever Karen is my beatician for the day, i feel less painful when doing the extraction as she will keep talking to me and make me join in the conversation so i don't focus on the painful part. She will do a thorough job, extracting all the pimple and blackhead from my face unlike some other beautician will not be so hardworking. She doesn't mind the time doing facial for me, usually my session with her last about 2.5 hr and the longer is 3hr. wahaha.. maybe we chat too much..
If i will sign back my package with adonis, i hope she still around with adonis. It is really hard to find a well skilled beautician like Karen. Hope i have faith to meet her again, she will always be in my memory.
I give some to LY and my elder sister family.
LY comment - some of the cookies is soft and some is crispy. (I think maybe be the cookies thickness uneven and the baking time too short)
Surprisingly my brother-in-law finish all the cookies.
Ingredients:- 175g unsalted butter
- 200 g icing sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 375 plain flour
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- Semisweet chocolate chip
- Always remember to sifted the flour.
- with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. (I follow the book by combine the butter, sugar and vanilla essence beat in a bowl, which i think it is not good. The sugar didn't dissolve or combine well with the butter, it has small lump of sugar around.)
- Add in the flour, egg and egg yolk into the butter and sugar mixture and beat until incorporated.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerate until firm.
- Pre-heat the oven to 175 C. Roll out the dough into 6mm thick.
- Cut out cookies with cookies cutters. Place the cookies on the baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- Place the chocolate chip in a heatproof bowl and place it over a saucepan of simmering water. Once the chocolate has melted, turn off the fire. Add some chocolate chip and stir with a wooden spoon until it has completely melted and is smooth. Taking one cookies at a time, dip one end of each cookies in the melted chocolate and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once all the cookies have been dipped in the chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 min or until chcolate has hardened.
- Store in an airtight container last for 7 days.
