NeW COoKie Cutters & X'MaS TrIal..

Not long ago, before i went on my holidays, I bought several cookie cutters both online and at Red Man. A combination of both Disney's chracters and also cutters for Christmas. I have decided to make Lemon zest cookies for my collegues and friends as their christmas gift.

For the trial, I tested out the cutters which i shortlisted (out of the many other cutters i bought) that I might want to give my friends as gifts. I also took this chance to try out royal icing. They were really pretty and easy to make. Just that I really need some more practice on my piping and also to practice more on obtaining the right consistency of the icing for a better application. But overall I really like what the icing effect on my cookies.. I may even use them for my cupcakes deco.. =P hehe..

And so here are the pics... Enjoy~! =)

Cheesy ChOcO BrOwnie

Proudly presenting my first bake after my holiday! This is my warm up to the major baking session i am planning to have to bake cookies for my friends and collegues for christmas!


I got this recipe from my favourite magazine - Food and Travel. Several brownies recipes were featured in the October issue and i chose this to try plainly because i love chocolate brownies! The taste is really rich.. I added in lemon to my cheesecake layer to balance the sweetness of the chocolate brownie layer, which i find it quite nice. I kinda like how this bake turns out. Not too sweet. But as usual like all brownies does, it is very filling and you cannot have much after 1 small piece. Goes really well with ice-cream too!


Bro did feedback that the cheesecake layer was not that nice with the brownie and that I should change it to another type of cheescake.. hmmm.. maybe I will try that sometime.. but personally that combi might be too thick and rich to swallow.. Will see how when I try it..

Next... My long awaited cookies... going to use my new cookie cutters.. *EXcited* =)
