Stack-O-Cookies

Yes, it has been a month or so since my last post (thanks to my dear friends, for your encouragment). I am learning on how to deal with my new-bought laptop, and guess what, i think i know how to do it, do i ?

There are many stuff to write about. Let's do it from the lastest happenings.......the last 3 photos in my digital camera is the Chocolate Chip Cookies.

My cookies always ended spreading into the size of the baking tray. I had to cut it into bite sizes.

I love to see how Little Corner of Mine and Leslie stacked up their home-made cookies.

Jayne & me baked cookies on Friday again. This time, we got it right, a stack of cookies!!!

We used Betty Crocker Chocolate Chips cookie mix. All it takes is to mix the flour with one egg and a stick of butter. (I did not follow in using a whole stick of butter, just a tablespoon.)

This is how i like my cookies to look like - pieces by pieces.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. 

Jayne's afternoon tea break - a cup of banana fresh milk, and few pieces of our home baked chocolate chip cookies.



I do have any fancy baking applicances, this hand-held mixer is from my mother, a very old fashioned type of mixer whereby one can feel the virbation after holding on for a while. Jayne is always the one who enjoys holding it, nothing beats the fun of it ! I cant find any big enough bowl to use, hence i get this plastic bowl ? No, is not a bowl, is actually a type of mesuring "pail" as there are the "cc, ml, gm"printed on one side of the "bowl" I bought it long time ago and cant remember where.



'T was sticky at first, she has to use a chopstick to "dig" out the mixture, and later it becames not like the pic on the receipe, as firm as "play-doh".

When i put in the tray, the shape was nice and round but then, after a while it spreaded and becames flat.

I wondered why ? It must has something to do with that "watery" mixture (i guess).

Overall, the taste and the crunchy was there. I put the cookies in a air-tight tupperware container, and let Jayne bring it to school to share with her friends. Guess what - everyone was asking for more.....
