M&M "Butterless" Cookies


This is a recipe I longed to try for, easy and delicious, topped with lots of m&m! (Decide the quantities for yourself, it is like eating m&m chocolates with a combination of something else to lower down the sweetness of the chocolate bits. So here you go for this recipe, down below:

M&M Cookies
Ingredients:
1 egg
200g cake flour
80g vegetable oil
80g sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
m&m chocolates (as much as you want)

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking paper on baking sheet.
2. Mix all ingredients together except m&m till nicely combined.
3. Scoop dough and roll into balls. Flatten with your palm. Topped m&m onto the cookies. I like it this way so that all m&m can be viewed clearly instead of embedded inside the cookies. (It is a personal preference, any type of mixing is fine.)
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes till golden brown. Cool on wire rack and serve!




* I am not using butter here, because I do not have butter at home, plus my bf does not really like butter, so a cookie made out of butterless recipe, he is a fan of that! So, here you go! Also, butter is getting more expensive and I think that oil is more affordable, and the results are almost the same!

Happy baking =)

Crunchy Melty Baby Biscuit


Ooooo... what's that? It is very crunchy and melt-to-your-mouth small biscuits made out of corn starch. It reminds me of a biscuits I loved that could only be bought back home! Forgot the name of the biscuits, so I shall just name it on my own!

1 egg yolk
30g sugar
80g corn starch
3-4 tsp soy milk

1. Preheat oven to 320F. Line baking paper on baking sheet.
2. Mix everything together till combine to a dough.
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Chocolate Nutella Macaroon *Failed*


This is a "kind-of-failed" macaroon, only 1-2 success macaroons which had been eaten by me, unfortunately, before I could take this picture! Arghh..@@. It should not have cracks on the top, which means too many air bubbles formed, which also means "kind-of-failed" as I have said earlier. But, the texture and taste is yummy! Anyway, I will still give you the recipe since it is a good one!

Chocolate Nutella Macaroon:
Ingredients:
1 egg white, large
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp cocoa powder

Nutella, for filling

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line parchment paper on baking sheet.
2. Beat egg white and cream of tartar till peaks formed.
3. Fold in sifted sugar, flour, salt and cocoa powder gently. Put into a piping bag to make desired shape.
4. Set aside for about 30 minutes, and bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cool on wire rack, and serve!


Besides the cracks, and "not so successful attempt", the taste is great! It is just like macaroons with cracks.Haha

Happy baking =)

Fruit Cake Revisited!





Who does not love a light, and spongy fruit cake? I do! Love love love! I have done in a previous post, so I would just link the page for you to follow the recipe. This time I added kiwi into the fruit cake, and turns out to be as soft as usual. Do try out someday!

*FYI, I made a thicker cream haha, which results into more yummy cake! I just think that whipped cream goes great with fruit cake with spongy and fluffy texture!

Happy baking =)
