flourless peanut butter cookie.


Actually, this recipe is very easy to make. I got the recupe from allrecipes.com You don't need lots of ingredients too, just these:
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar)
  • 1 egg
Mix all of the ingredients altogether and bake for 8 minutes to 10 minutes. BUT. I've never made a flourless cookies before, so i didn't know whether the cookies are done or not (after 8 minutes). And so i add 5 more minutes for to cookie to baked in the overn and the result was... the bottoms were slightly overbaked. Despite the overbaked cookie bottoms, they taste quite good. Oh and another thing, it's best for you to always keep in mind: when baking,  make sure you're in a good, relaxing mood, and the result will be just fine. Do not bake when you're in a rush or in a bad mood. Cheers!

butter cookies.


I made this last month for my babyshower. Just add icing with a few colors from food colorings and then you're done. This recipe suits for a small celebration and doesn't cause you too much effort. Have fun!

All you need:
  • 1 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup white sugar (make it 1/2 cup, or else it'll be too sweet)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 2/3 cups plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least one hour. Chill cookie sheets.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press dough out onto ungreased, chilled cookie sheets.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly golden at the edges. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. 
  4. Decorate cookies with icing and colorful sprinkles.
