Baking Class with the Girls - Part 3

The baking class was done on Saturday. The truth is, I wasnt in the mood at all to do the baking class. Tapikan, kesian pulak kat the girls coz dia orang dah beria2 nak masak, excited sangat2. I was pressed for time sebab earlier that day, I had to run errands and malam pulak, ada birthday party for Nila and Aude. Kesian kat Zuleika la sebab she came all the way from Bangsar and kena balik cepat sebab kita org nak keluar.

Since I was press for time, I decided to bake Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mula2 nak guna recipe kat blog Zarin, the one yang from allrecipes.com tapi lepas baca reviews, kena buat few tweaking, maka aku decided to try out another recipe from allrecipes.com jugak. The cookies turned out great! The kids love it! Hubby yang supposed to be on strict calorie diet that day, menghabiskan sebekas cookies. Rasanya ada la more than 400 calorie dia consumed. Nasib baik ler cookies yang the kids buat tu kecik2 dan comel2 je. I kept 1/2 of the dough in the fridge, cuma guna 1/2 je.

The 1/2 yang aku simpan tu, aku buat cookies on Sunday. I went to Ju's house, hantar ketupat sotong. Ye la, Ju dah baik hati tolong hantar macarons earlier, kena la aku balas kebaikan Ju tu. Kan Ju kan? And guess what? I tasted Zarin's kek lapis cempedak yg sangat moist tu.. hehe.. Akhirnya merasa jugak air tangan Zarin. I gave Ju some of the cookies. Panas lagi cookies yang aku deliver ke rumah Ju sebab the cooled ones dah habis di makan oleh hubby. Makan cookies lagi! Nak marah la ni. Nasib baik la Sunday is our free day.
