We all love the sweet taste of it. The mixture of butter and sugar are just perfect. As if some magic has happened, the wonderful combination made it difficult for our hands to stop putting these crispy thing into our mouth.
Things we need for this snack are simple but sinful. We need an egg, butter, sugar(the evil ingredients)and of course! Flour! I love to make cookie at home, because I can avoid the scary part of the secret process of baking cookies. It's very easy to make cookie. First, you need to melt the butter, so that it would be east for you to do the next step. You will realize how many butter you have taken in when you do this step. Just look down at your belly, girl. The butter we prepared for 2 dozens of cookies are about 50g, it's about twice the size of your thumb. After the butter is melted, we mix the other ingredients together and make it into a dough. As you put all the ingredients together and stir them, you can see the golden yolk and the butter turning the white flour into a yellow shiny dough. And now you can smell the tasty scent of the cookie is now spreading out in the air.
Here comes the most interesting part of baking cookies! Shaping them! You can make the dough into whatever shape you what to as long as you wash your hand. Putting the dough in my hand and squeeze it. It's so much fun! You can also use the cookie cutters that comes in different shapes to shape the cookies in cute styles. If you prefer the "original shape" of cookies, you can just take a small part of the dough and rub it in your palm to make the dough into a small ball, and then press it, it will then become a little circle in your hand.
After showing your creativity, we put the unbaked cookies on to the baking tray, line them up evenly so that the heat will spread the same. Then all you need to do is to put the tray into the oven and heat up the oven to about 180 degrees Celsius and wait about 15~20 minutes. While the cookies are in the oven, you have to take care of them also. Like a mother, you have to peek in the oven see if they are growing up, and turning their colors from golden yellow into brown. Watching the cookies change and smelling the aroma of them makes will make you feel warm, peaceful and happy. I guess this is why I enjoy baking cookies by myself. You can control the sugar you want to add if you don't want to get too much calories, this is the best way of enjoying sinful snacks.
Ding! The pleasant sound of the oven is telling us to take out the cookies. The moment you open the oven, the heat and the smell of the cookies run out into the air, filling the whole house with the sweet aroma. This would definitely be the best moment! Just wait for the cookies to cool down, then you can enjoy your efforts, in a healthier and fulfilling way!
