Experimenting the Vanillekipferl

Salam...buat experiment lagi...found the recipe kat blog Bisous A Toi..http://www.bisousatoi.com/2010/12/happy-holidays-and-vanillekipferl.html.teruja nak buat sbb a bit different from other cookies plus I still have almond meals in my stocks...balance from the 'Macaron Experiment'.
This one is a bit different sbb the vanilla was added only in the icing sugar, plus rupa dia yg macam kuih makmur tu puuun dah buat saya termeleleh air liur..

I followed  Rima's recipe exactly...the taste ok..my sister pun suka but next trip I make this cookie I have to derhaka sikit( ha ha Cik Mat Gebu fav words) with Rima's recipe...bcoz ada yg x boleh accept the vanilla flav kat icing sugar tu...so I will have to add the vanilin in the dough instead. TQ Rima...for sharing the recipe ...really love to surf ur blog!! Will try your Lapis Howflakes Orange  pulak nanti!!

 put the recipe here for my future reference..

250 g butter ( I used Anchor salted)

2 tbs milk powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

225 g cake flour

225 g almond powder

1/2 ts vanillin

200g icing sugar (sifted)

• Preheat oven to 160 C
• Grease baking pan with butter/ margarine
• Beat butter, milk powder & baking powder until smooth
• Add in almond powder , flour and vanillin, stir well until dough is good enough to shape
• Bake for 20 minutes, lift it immediately while it's hot and roll into the icing sugar.

saya tambah sesudu coloured sugar (pink)kat icing sugar .. just to add some colour to the cookies.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chips Cookies

Asalamualaikum....1.30 pm...lunch hr kat office ni...malas nak keluar..saya update story mory lagi baik..Last Sunday kami gi Yummies Bangi lagi... kalau pergi sana kena laa singgah rumah my `Beras' he he ..plus my mother in law pun ada kat sana ... so we have made arrangements nak lunch kat sanalah.So my hubby kata buatlah kek ..Adam ngan Azam mesti nak cake..

Tak de mood nak mengecake pagi Sunday ...so I made this cookies. Sampai Bangi ..kejap dah licin...got the recipe from one of my fav blogs Michelle Cake Design: http://inspired-by-chocolate-and-cakes.com/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie.html

Here's the recipe.. pun cut paste dari sana..

Makes 32 Cookies.

Ingredients.

125g butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bi-carb soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup plain flour
1 cup instant oatmeal or instant oats
1 cup chocolate chips ( saya guna 1/2 cup choc chips and 1/2 cup dark (compound) chocolate -chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

Baking Temperature

The oven should be preheated to 160oC (325oF)

Method.

1.              In a large mixing bowl add the butter, sugars, baking powder, bi-carb soda and vanilla extract.

2.              On low speed beat until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl down.

3.              Beat in the egg until combined and scrape down.

4.              Add the flour, oatmeal, chocolate chips and walnuts and mix on low speed until just combined.

5.              Take heaped teaspoonfuls of the cookie dough and shape into balls.

6.              Place on a baking tray that has been lightly coated with cooking spray or lined with baking paper.

7.              leave space between the balls as they will spread during baking.

8.              Bake in a preheated oven set to 160oC (325oF) for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are ready when they are a light golden colour.

9.              Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes then transfer them to a cooling wire.

10.          The cookies will collapse slightly on cooling.

·                                 Store in an airtight container for one week. The cookies can be frozen for up to two months.

·                                 These cookies are crisp when first baked, they soften on storage. This is how I like them but you can always re-crispen them quickly in the oven.
