I starting to practice making cookies as i decide to make a Mint Cookies for WT Bday present. Her favour food is mint, anything with mint can please her. <=
I bought a book call 500 cookies, Philippa Vanstone. I haven't try out any of the recipe in the book yet hence i took a recipe call Shortbread cookies from Joyofbaking as it provide the video guide.
I watch over & over the video many times to avoid failure and follow the step clearly, once again i would not make it the same as from the guide.
Actually i wanted to make this ---->
I follow the instruction ask to chill the dough for at least an hour or overnight, so i leave it over night in the fridge. Next morning i took out the dough and it is so soft and boggy, it is too sticky and it keep sticking to the roller and table i can't cut out the cookies shape with the mold. I gave up and decided to make it into ball and bake.
But end up become this ---->
Somehow it taste quite delicous, once u put inside your mouth and once bite it will melt.
摆乌龙，哈哈哈。
Quite happy as many people ate and try with good comment, at least is not wasted into the bin. ;p
