This peanut cookies is especially make for my colleague who is my neighbour PE sitting on my right side with a small window (glass) apart from me. As i was leaving KN (company) so i decided to make some cookies as a farewell gift for her. In the office we really get along very well, we talk alot and share both experience with each other. She is a very quiet, soft spoken and a very sweet girl with no temper. To me she more like a friend than a colleague. I hope i can meet her out again. Her husband is really lucky to have her as wife. ;) Anyway i wish her all the best.
About my cookies, as this is the first time i making an crispy (it is hard to me) cookies. I didn't know that cookies added baking soda will expand. I use a cookies cutter, cut out the shape send into the oven after a few minute when i check back and i discover that my cookies expand and also out of shape. After that i realise that is no point using cookies cutter so i make it into small dough ball and placing each dough a distance away if not after the baking, cookies will stick to each other. I don't really like crispy or hard cookies, it make my gum pain.
