Finally had the chance to make cookies today. Athena was excited when I told her that, and she thought she was going to colour ready-made cookies. She stared at me when I was trying to make the dough (when I should be mixing colours into icings for her)
The greedy girl took the biggest cookie cutter - star and then a house, by then not much space left in the glassware to cut anymore shaped cookies. Haha! Quite a sore disappointment to have her ending it so soon. Had to make it 3 batches, the 2nd time round I made the dough thicker so that it won't alter the shape of cookie when I bring it into the glassware. But alas! It still broke after that, such a pity the bear broke into 2 - she had wanted to give that to her dua-gu. In the end, she told me "no mummy, not enough. We keep for our family all these, next time we make for dua-gu and ma-ma." Goes to show how sincere she wants to share her cookies now. In the last batch, I told her to make smaller ones instead, as it seems they were much much crunchier than the bigger ones. We poured in some mini M&Ms into the dough and put one in small spoonfuls. She had more M&Ms in her hands so she put in more in each cookie. I'm happy with the turnout of the cookies, I thought they'd be horrible since I kindda lost touch with baking for quite awhile. Athena had quite a couple of cookies, KZ was looking forward to each pathetic batch of cookies. At least now I know I have a girl waiting for my horrible cookies no matter how bad it tastes.
Conclusion : 1. I think I put slightly too much butter, which was why dough was soft.
2. Should make it into small bits instead of the big chunky ones - too ambitious liao
I was worried over nothing, the microwave works well. Just press the preset button and wait for the whiff of cookie smell in the kitchen (and you know everything's ok) Next on the list - muffins.
