I've seen many cookies recipes online and I decided to try out this particular one that's was more intriguing, it is my first time of doing cookies practical, so I decided to share the experience with us. Pardon my manners
A beautiful morning to us creative minds, hope to we are doing well and fine? Journey with me please 😊🤗
Let's start with # the ingredients list
All purpose flour 3 cups
Corn flour 3 Tbsp
Sugar ½cup of sugar
Butter 125g

Creaming the butter to bring it to room temperature and also increase volume of the butter

Seive both the plain flour and corn flour together before adding into the egg batter gradually in bits

Used my hand to mix it at a point

Once everything is incorporated, wrap in a film and placed in a fridge for future use or 30minutes for same day use

Wrap judiciously.

On bake day, I divided the dough into four equal halves.

I wanted to try the Chocolate chips cookie with the same recipe so I introduce chocolate into the 2 halves (just for the love of chocolate 🍫 🤗😍) of the dough

I then mix the chocolates in

Got this after mixing, then I started piping (though I used free hand here)

Pardon the shaping, my hands ain't equal 😁😄

Tried Crushed Peanut too (a little bit of everything right?)

I added peanut to just 1 half of the dough (thought I won't like the outcome buh was surprised it came out very nice)

This shape is a little perfect right?😄 I had to use a pie cutter for this😁. And for the last half of the dough I Made it plain cookies, because one of my siblings said he prefers it plain so I humour him cos why not🫠

Then in the oven (preheated at 120° for 15minutes)they went.

Was so excited I burnt the first batch (reduce heat to 80/90° after loading the oven, I learnt the hard way, lol)

The rest came out fresh and nice (crumbly also). At this point my neighbours knew I was baking something if you get what I mean, the aroma was nerve soothing 🫠😌

Sight the one I ate almost half of before taking the pictures yeah? No? Look closely 😊

I stored in an airtight container and put it on the shelf (it lastedess than a week FYI😁, it was that tempting 😄) couldn't get enough of it, I'm sure I'll make another batch soonest 😜
I hope we've learnt one or two from my post? And we won't mind to do a practical of our pen yeah? Good, my aim exactly
Thanks, and Have a nice day ahead🤗🤗
I won't mind feedbacks and suggestions, I'm open to learn😊
