Hi there!

Hope this finds you well. I have so many recipe vlogs waiting to be published, but I hardly have time to sit to write description for the ingredients and whatnot 🫣😅🫣😅

Today I baked a teabread as well made Bakso, Indonesian meatballs, however for the soup, I prepared Vietnamese pho instead. So it's a fusion 😁

How is your weekend so far?

It is close to 8 PM and my husband drove to a neighboring town to pick up the boys. They had a Warhammer play date 😁

Anyhoo! Here is Pecan Shortbread Cookies!

Mix with spatula a little, then add in pecans, knead into a nice log

Coat dough log with raw sugar, chill until ready to bake. I like freezing it overnight.

Take out pan from the oven, let stand for 3 minutes before moving cookies to rack

Cool on rack completely before storing

Enjoy 😍
