Fortunately, it turned out not too bad. But my arm is aching now as I had to cream the butter and sugar followed by the flour. But thank god I have a "saviour" in the kitchen. And she's....... tada! Mina! thank god she was helping me with 60% of the creaming. If not, I think my arm would have broken off. ok, i was just exaggerating. I will use the electric beater the next time yah.
The dessert chocolate from Carrefour was great! Chopped that up as my chocolate chips. the process of laying the flour, egg, butter, sugar was easy. But it was the baking timing that kept me busy. I had 3 batches of cookies. Each batch took about 40mins. So that's about 2 hours of baking time. Comments from 4 family members....
MIL: 1st piece, she felt it was too sweet. Perhaps it was the choc chips. Subsequent cookies, she felt it was not bad.
FIL: "Buai pai" aka not bad. I poured him a glass of water after he had eaten my cookie. Don want him to get too heaty. hee...
Hubby: Hmm, it's yummy dear...
Mina: Girl, "Mayat Ser-dap" aka very delicious in malay. haha... I asked her to eat more.
During the baking, I tested 1 piece from each batch. Don't find it really delicious. So-so only. After dinner, I ate 1 piece and it tasted better than it was just right after baking. Ate 1 more piece. Must control diet still.
Enjoyed myself thoroughly and can score points at the same time!
Going to my mum's place for dinner tomorrow. Gonna bring some to her. =)
Chocolate from Carrefour! Can use this for Fondue as well...
Hideous sight! My 1st batch of cookies. Didn't expect them to "grow" till so big. Argh. But after they cooled down further more, they looked OK. p/s: this was taken using my PDA phone... still prefer my digital camera pics.
