Last day of enjoyment!

Made Coffee Almond Cookies today and would like to share the recipe with u all.

(**i can still feel the aroma and taste of the cookie while typing this post. #LOL)

This is the first time me posting a recipe@procedure, hope the instructions are clear enough :D

So this is one of the badge of freshly baked cookies.
*Try to spot the special cookie!! → ╮(> ︿ <)╭

#haha

↓ Ingredient list ↓

Ingredient A: 

250g butter 

100g icing sugar

Ingredient B:

280g of plain flour

half tablespoon of baking powder

60g of crushed almonds

1 tablespoon of coffee powder

*(the recipe book wrote 1 tablespoon, but i personally recommend 2 tablespoon. Im not sure if its because the taste of Nescafe is not strong enough or hmm..so try to put it on your own preference lah. )

Ingredient C:

1 Tablespoon of lemon juice

Ingredient D:

a few almond flakes

↓ Procedure ↓

Yay! It's the most fun and tiring part. Let's start and get messy!! :)

Before mixing anything, remember to preheat oven for at least 5 minutes at 180℃.

① Mix Ingredient A in low speed for 1 minute, then high speed for 5 minutes.

  

② Add in the lemon juice then beat with medium speed for 2 minutes. 

③ Add in ingredient B, beat with low speed till it's well mixed.

It's kinda sticky and hard to mix, don't worry. it's meant to be like this. =)
*i had my bro to do this, because it's really tiring and requires a lot of strength to mix this.

④ Okay so we're done with the dough, so now just make it to desired shapes and add the almond flakes on the cookies. I used the heart and flower shape mold to make the shapes for my cookies.

Bake it and you are done ! =)

More snapshots for today↓

First batch: If you observe closely, those are not shades but a part of the cookies burnt >.<

Second batch: really CHARCOAL-ED cookies.
everybody was busy multi-tasking and we forgotten to guard the cookies.
#oh my

After the burnt cookies I got really  discouraged and tensed.
but then luckily my brother and sis was there to cheer me up.
Finally at the 3rd attempt, we managed to master the exact temperature and timing for the oven.

Color of a "healthy cookie". #haha

Oh ya, we done the cookies, double the amount of the original recipe.
The first time we done the dough was perfect but the second time there's too much butter,
so the dough turned out to be TOO SOFT and we cant make any shape out of it.
We tried to rescue it by adding lots and lots of flour.
it became abit hardened, but still not enough to shape anything.
(thats why in the last few pictures there are only random shape cookies.haha)
Finally i kept the dough into the freezer and it worked!
haha. GENIUS~ xD

but if you taste the difference between the first and second's dough,
the first one is very crunchy but lacks the taste of  coffee.
so we added 3 tablespoons on the second dough and then only we taste the coffee! 
The second dough's cookie are very soft but it tastes much better.

We thought we would fail >.< but thank God we successfully baked so so many yummy cookies despite a tray of failed ones. I hope this blog post will help you all bake nice cookie =)
