Tomorrow I still have to do some shopping and have to start cleaning and decorating the house...oh dear, it seems that I'm rushing for everything!
I'm trying my best to bake some cookies for this New Year, if you have read my last post, altogether I've done 4 types of cookies. But my husband still prefer those I baked last year..:( And that means I have lots more to bake!!!
Well, he's not the person who likes to try new things, especially my bakes..;p Nevermind then..haha!
Okay, here's the last 2 cookies that I'm going to post............
Hawana Sparkle!!...Its a very yummilicious cookies that most of my family love..(not my hubby of course)..lol. I got this recipe since I was in my secondary school but can't remember where I got it from.
Coated with rich melted chocolate with the crisp of the nuts in it....heaven!!
Cookies before coating.....
Recipe:50g coffee mate
170g plain flour
50g cornflour
60g Nestum
50g icing sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp salt
150g buter
**some hazelnuts (whole)
**melted dark-semi sweet chocolate (for coating)
Method:
~ Mix all ingredients together in a bowl into a soft dough. (Dough should be soft but not sticky)
~ Roll dough into small balls (according to the paper cups used) and wrapped in the hazelnuts.
~ Placed on a tray with parchment paper and bake at 150-160'C for 20 minutes.
~ Cool slightly and coat with melted chocolate then place into a paper cup.
Last but not least, a traditional cookies requested by my mother.
