My first cookie baking experience was such a failure! haha. Suddenly decided to try since I found my toaster oven and I always thought that baking is therapeutic to the soul. My parents were so against it and keep saying things to put me down, like I know how to bake meh, sure create a mess and stuff like that. lol but I went ahead to do it stubbornly.
Here's that batter which I made following the recipe. Mixing the batter with bare hands is quite gross actually, I finally know how it feels like to have butter fingers. haha
Started to bake! Given such a small toaster oven I have, I can only make about 3 at a time, which took damn long. Temperature is another thing and the butter melts easily when it's too high, when it's too low it doesn't bake. Overall, the cookies become chao da too easily. Damn, my first few tries turn out to taste like cake. Jin advised me to bake longer but can't as the edges started to turn black. Later I found out why, I didn't add enough flour, that's why the butter melts easily and thus soft.
I manage to feel 1 container with my masterpieces, most of them chao da. lol. After that I'm still left with a huge portion of cookie mix but I got lazy. I realize baking needs alot of patience which I didn't have and I soon got sian of it and decided to throw the rest away. What a waste, but let that be a lesson that I've no baking talents. :p Well, at least my cookies tasted not bad if you cut away those chao da parts, lol. Initially I wanted to share it with friends, but think with my standard, better not. :p
I read my past blog entries today. Time really flies man, sec sch seems like just yesterday. It was quite amusing looking at how I blogged in sec school. The annoying ah beng way of typing with big and small letters, adding lots of x and s at the back of words, having lots of dot dot dots, writing in super broken english and mixing lotsa han yu pin yin, it was such a chore reading them. lol Then in JC I realised I complaint the most, lots and lots of ramblings about a levels and life and the people. Then came all the emo writings after army. I also looked back at friendster! haha. And I found out I was actually once that close to some friends in the past, but now they're as good as strangers. Such a pity. Haha I've decided to to post some pics of me over the years here, kinda interesting looking at the changes.
