Trial Run~

A little trial run before baking the cookie goodies for the up coming CNY ya. First up are the corn flake cookies and the mixed nut cookies (gram nuts, cashew nuts and walnuts).

i like the cornflake cookies ya~ they have a nice initial crunch, followed by a slight melt in your mouth textual.

Cornflake Cookie Recipe by Florence from Do What I Like blog

Ingredients:

• 110g butter (room temperature)
• 50g - 60g castor sugar
• less than 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 - 1.5 tsp orange zest
• 150g cake flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 50g cornflakes
• Raisins or cherries for garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Sieve flour together with baking powder and baking soda. (i used top flour instead of cake flour)

2. Cream butter with sugar and salt till creamy.

3. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla esssence and cream till well combined.

4. Stir in the orange zest. (i added 1/2 teaspoon of lemon paste)

5. Fold in the sieved flour mixture and cornflakes. Mix till you get a soft dough.

6. Divide dough into equal pieces of about 12g each, shape into flat rounds.

7. You can stick a raisin into the middle of the cookie before baking. (This step is optional). (i excluded this step)

8. Bake at 175C for 18 - 20 minutes or till golden brown.

i couldn't decide which type of nuts to select. There's why i used all 3 of them ya~
