Cookie Making session

After a long wait, finally this day arrived. It’s our cookie making day for our Chinese New Year theme. The children were so excited looking at all the ingredients and utensils that I have prepared on the table. Before we start, we went through all the ingredients together by touching and smelling it.

This is the ingredients that we need to make the hazelnut rosettes.

120g butter

50g castor sugar

30g ground hazelnut

120g plain flour

½ tsp vanilla

50g chocolate chips

Method:

1  1. Cream butter and castor sugar in a mixer till light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.

2  2.  Mix in ground hazelnut and plain flour till well combined.

3  3. Put mixture into a hand fluted tube or you can also use a piping bag fitted with fluted tube to form flower   

        shape. Top each rosette with a chocolate chip as decoration.

4  4. Bake in pre-heated oven at 170°C for about 20 minutes till lightly brown and firm to touch. Remove and cool.

The children were very excited to try every step from the flour sifting to the shaping of the shape. However, the shapes that the children make were too thin. Therefore the cookies were burned before the expected cooking time is up.  The whole process took more than an hour to complete. As a result, all the cookies that were baked were packed into their Tupperware and to be given to the children on the next day. Each of them will get around 4 cookies. Hopefully they enjoy the process of the cookie making.
