Cookie party
I am never good at baking, tried a couple of times before, but my efforts have not seen results, except for using pre-mix like Betty Cocker, which many 'baker' mums would declare it very unwise, loaded with SUGAR.
So, I thought up a plan, to have some experience mums over to bake together. I 'stole' the receipe from a belgium friend, who kindly came over an hour earlier to help me the with dough. She did the measurements, and gave me step by step instructions, how nice, and the best part, it worked!
An hour later, other mums came with their kids, 6 mums and 7 children in all. The older one, 3 yrs old had a jolly time playing with the dough, making biscuit shapes, which was one of Nathan's shape sorter toy. All turned up perfect, you can tell from the pictures.
Chong said it was a brilliant idea. Well, I had fun. Most of all, it built up my confidence to make more cookies in future :)
