Mad About Cookies

Hello there...Fancy sugar Icing cookies is such a hit now days. Banyak orang buat sebagai door gift, souvenir, also as a  present to the one they loved . If you happen to browse cookie makers from US,UK and Australia..pasti akan buat anda jaw dropping .Sebabnya mereka sangat-sangat creative.Sehinggakan wujud National Cookie Day in US.
So here is mine..ada yang ditempah utk Majlis Aqiqah , dan ada juga untuk hadiahkan pada kawan-kawan. Price range is from RM2.00 to RM5.OO...
Making sugar cookies really takes time, and need concentration while drawing it. Starting from scratch;- flour,butter,sugar,eggs  turn into dough . Then comes the cutting out the cookies with specific cookie cutter process. Bakes for 15-20 min per batches ,have to wait for the cookie to cool down and then continue to the decorating phase. The outlining process serupalah mcm kita melukis,tapi ini lukis dgn piping bag ...well kalau melukis dgn pensil pun ramai yang herot bengot ni kan pula melukis dgn piping bag...tentulah perlu penelitian..lepas dah flooding with icing ..kene tunggu dia kering...dan lepas tu baru boleh wrap ..........

See...complicated kan process nya..bukan mcm buat biskut biasa...so jangan hairan kalau harganya agak pricey...
For me, it just not a cookie..but it is an art..setiap keping cookie yg dibuat dengan penuh ketelitian dan perlukan idea yg creative :)
Bukan perkara yang menghairankan jika omputih ni sangat obsessed dengan sugar cookies ni. Macam-macam bentuk dan hiasannya mengagumkan. Dan semua itu telah influenced aku utk jadi obsessed dgn sugar cookies. Sebenarnya bila buat cookies ni it's kind of therapy jugak..sebab kita akan focus dan biarkan otak menari-narikan creativity.

Here are five facts about one of America's favorite sweets. 

  • The English word "cookie" is derived from the Dutch word "koekje," which means little or small cake.


  • The earliest reference to Girl Scout cookies is around 1917. Today, Thin Mints remain the most popular variety.


  • Immaculate Baking Co. of Flat Rock, N.C., holds the Guinness World Record for baking the largest cookie. The chocolate chip cookie weighed more than 40,000 pounds and spanned 102 feet in diameter.
  • Chocolate chip cookies are the most popular, making up half of all cookies bought and baked in the U.S. every year .
