My Cookies got Sun burnt! Bleah...

Since last wk, I have been wanting to try out the Earl Grey Cookie recipe I saw on the “Simply Her” magazine! Esp after trying the Yummy Earl Grey tea Cake that Starry painstakingly went all the way out to buy for my birthday!


Recipe looks quite easy, basically I have everything I need at home liao! I love this feeling, I can bake anything I wan & any time that I feel like it!! Most of the time I still have to get 1 or 2 ingredients lah, but this recipe, I have everything liao!
So after getting ready, I set to do it!


But alas!!! It’s easier said than done!

1st batch: My cookies ended up sticking together cos the space between each is not enough & the cookie dough too much. After expansion, it looked like a Jigsaw Puzzle, cos can break the sides easily. Plus, the temperature n fan control of this oven is not the optimal. The inner ones ended up abit more burnt!

1st Batch

2nd batch: Left more space, but still…. The heat distribution not too gd… ended quite burnt too…..

2nd Batch

3rd batch: Left even more space, better cos at least they look round! But still a bit burnt.

From Left to Right: 3rd , 2nd, 1st Batch

(Dun ask me why they got smaller...

cant change the size of my oven,

so bo bian changed the cookie size lor... =P)

Closed up view,OPERATIONS Earl Grey Cookie!

Conclusion: My cookies will end up looking like me – Sun burnt! Chao Dah Bin Gan!

Anyway, not very yummy…. Cant really taste the Earl Grey tea… more of the slight salty taste (like in digestive biscuits) & the burnt taste… bleah… the last time I made cookies (which was also the 1st time) was like 2 X’mas ago… then it was Peanut-Butter- Chocolate-Chip-Cookies! WOooooahhhha! Sinful stuff!

The picture in the recipe book looks like the colour is lighter in colour… I have enough ingredients at home, mayb I shd attempt again while the memory is fresh… but who’s gona eat all the cookie?! Argh!

How it shd look like instead! Bleah!

(Must be the photography skills!)

Made a sandwich for myself… yummy! Salmon “sandwich” bursting at the seams…

More like Salmon Burger! YUM!

Nugget at play… gave him the empty tissue box & he dug his head in, got stuck for a while! Was walking ard the house with his head in the box!

SO funny!! I finally relieve him of his stress by pulling his head out! Kekek! So Cute!
