since after trying coboypb's chocolate chip cookies, i was inspired to dabble in butter and flour...
so, on saturday, i tried making chocolate chip cookies using her recipe.
alas, i forgot some basic rules which i learnt in home economics class in sec 2, like, must sieve flour, must not press down the dough. can i put the blame on coboypb? cos her recipe didnt say to do all these mah... hee...
the first batch turned out to be flat and expanded (sideways), but father-in-law and the other half thought they tasted not bad... in fact, fil didnt leave any for sis- in-law to try!
i promised coboypb to bring some for her to try on sunday, but didnt do so, as there was something fundamentally wrong with the cookies, they were either under-baked or hard...
on monday, i was enlightened by some baking experts in office that *must sieve flour*. with that in mind, i was determined to make another batch. but having o d on chocolate chip cookies, i changed to bake butter shortbread instead.
there was no sieve at home, the other half suggested using the coffee filter as a sieve. i started at 8pm, and at 8.10pm, i had sieved like, a pinch of the flour.. grrr... called up mum-in-law to borrow her sieve, and thereby completed my baking at 12 midnight (due to i have no oven, had to use a broiler).

Harharhat KSN, you are funny! There is always Famous Amos, or Chips Ahoy....
Take a photo of your "oven". My mum and I are curious to see what it looks like. Do your cats help out too? :)
