Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Piped shortbread cookies are my family’s all-time-favourite but they are a nightmare for me to make. Women’s wrists (or is it just mine???) are simply not strong enough for the piping job, especially during the winter. In my experience, at cool room temperature, the cookie dough is usually too firm for piping. My wrists would... Continue Reading →
Have you ever bought a large bag of rolled oats but then could not finish it before it turned stale? I do. I eat oats the following ways: cook oatmeal with milk, soak oats with cold milk, add cut up fresh fruits and leave it in the fridge to make overnight oats, cook with rice... Continue Reading →
Recently my church friend, Anna, taught me how to make Macau almond cookies. I didn’t know how easy it could be until her detailed explanation. My immediate thought was like, hm… could I turn it into a sugar-free version? I put my thoughts into action after purchasing mung bean flour from the grocery store. I... Continue Reading →
Here comes another chocolate chip cookie recipe! I have shared a couple of chocolate chip cookie recipes before and each of them has a unique texture because of the choice and ratios of ingredients as well as mixing method. If you would like to see how various ingredients and baking temperature affect the shapes and... Continue Reading →
These are the kind of soft cookies that, when devoured warm freshly right out of the oven, are super gooey in the middle. When completely cool they are crispy on the outside with a very soft center. I like to shape them on the thicker side for more of a contrast when you bite into... Continue Reading →
I made these soft and tender matcha cookies for my aunt in September. This is actually a variation of my Vanilla Bean Cutout Cookies. I add more sugar to balance out the bitter flavor from the matcha powder. These cookies are soft and tender because of the cake flour and icing sugar. Egg yolk will... Continue Reading →
I made these cookies with my kids last week and they both liked them. It’s basically a thick and soft chocolate chip cookie with mochi stuffed inside. This is an easy-to-follow recipe that is very kid-friendly as well. I placed the mochi dough in a food storage bag and my kids would help me knead... Continue Reading →
This is my chocolate version of the cutout cookies that was adapted from Vanilla Bean Cutout Cookies in which I replaced 15% of the flour with unsweetened cocoa powder. The percentage of cocoa powder could be adjusted according to taste or the brand being used.這是朱古力口味印模牛油曲奇，配方修改自雲尼拿印模曲奇，EC把麵粉的15%改成無糖可可粉。由於不同牌子的可可粉濃度和個人口味有別，大家可自行增減可可粉的比例。 These cookies are very soft and tender in texture and...

This is a very simple cookie recipe especially if you own a stand mixer. You could use cold ingredients taken right out of the fridge. If you don’t have a stand mixer, the dough could be prepared easily by cutting the fats (the cold butter cubes) into the flour mixture with a knife or simply... Continue Reading →
Here is a cutout cookie recipe that I made for my friends during Christmas time. Unlike my Sugar Cutout Cookies, Matcha Cutout Cookies and Chocolate Cutout Cookies that are crispy and crunchy, these espresso-flavoured cookies are actually very tender. All these recipes have pretty much the same ratios in terms of flour, sugar, fats and... Continue Reading →
