Steam Carrot Cake

My dad has requested that I make him another chinese steam carrot cake after he tried mine on my 1st attempt.

I have added more salt as the previous one taste a little blend, I also bought the healthier chinese sausage (liap cheong).

Milo Doggie Cookies

My girl has been pestering me to make these lovely cookies when she saw it when I was browsing Happy Homebaker's blog.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I need to use up my balance shortening from making Mooncake (which is a failure that I will not post). Hence, after flipping through my cookbook, saw this recipe.

Chocolate Cookies

Another batch of chocolate cookies, done with the help of my darling girl.

Chocolate Cookies

Bought this cookie cutter for quite some time, finally put them into use. I had hard time molding the cookies as the recipe I have used is quite soft. So, we actually mold the dough on the baking tray itself and take out excess dough using a stick, hence, you can see that there are so much mess in between the cookies.

Here's the recipe:

175g Powdered sugar
135g Butter
1/4 tsp Salt
1 egg
[200g cake flour
A-[30g cocoa powder
[1/2 tsp baking powder

1. Preheat Oven to 170deg C. Grease a baking sheet. Mix and shift A.
2. Soften the butter at room tempertature. Cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer until fluffy and pale. Add the egg and mix well. Fold in A and salt then mix into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 40 small balls and place them on a greased baking sheet. I used hand to flatten the ball and use cookie cutter to press them into shapes and decorate as desire.
3. Bake for 10minutes.
