Harvesting surprises


By Bitter Sweet Flavours (Visit website)



After the not so typical kind of cookies, I decided on more of that. What have I harvested today?
Definitely some nutty flavour. I've been yearning for FATS. The 2kgs of roasted cashews mum made, was almost half gone. That's why everything has to be sealed, though I might just open to much on some, and seal it back (or sometimes I wouldn't!)
It's quite unusual of me, picking up CNY cookies to eat before CNY. I usually don't see them, not even tempted to take a bite of any.


It's hard to explain what the stress is doing to me. After a week of unprepared test, due dates and loads of assignment, I'm officially free for a week! I can't imagine taking it any longer.
Though it's over, I still felt the pressure when I was watching TV with mum. Something in my head couldn't stop to utter me to study. Then when I think back, the test's over, I've got to get over it! (like NOW)
A body massage and reflexology clearly have took this feeling away and right now, I feel great and decided to blog, finally.

After the abandon, I came back to realize that blogger have reset my comment settings! Yes, without my permission and my previous post's comments were gone. All gone. I still had some comments to reply to and I'm very disappointed with the glitch blogger have caused me. I spent few hours playing with it and I just couldn't get them back. I'm so sorry if I couldn't reply and see some of your most recent comments! I'll try to fix it, if it's fixable.

Comments or not, the show must go on! So does this recipe.


Rosemary Walnut Cookies
(adapted from Piggy's Cooking Journal)

50g unsalted butter, at room temperature
30g castor sugar
1 Tbsp milk
120g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
30g walnuts, toasted and chopped into tiny pieces
1 tsp dried rosemary

Method:
With an electric mixer, whip butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk into the mixture and beat until combined.

Using a rubber spatula, stir in flour, baking powder and salt until well combined. Continue by folding in walnuts and dried rosemary.

The dough will turn out to be quite crumbly, knead until a smooth dough is formed.
Wrap and refrigerate for 30mins.

With a rolling pin, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into 5mm thickness. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter.

Bake in preheated oven at 170C for 15mins or until the cookie is lightly browned.
Remove cookies from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before storing into airtight containers.



the very tough dough after chilled for a night, cause I was too tired to mingle with cookie cutting and making the dough at the same time which would make me pretty grumpy.


rolling it in a cling wrap helps keep the crumbly dough together!


how I adore each and every cookie, shaped to it's perfection.


isn't freshly baked cookies the best thing on earth?


ok, hold it! these are meant to be sealed.
