Elegant cookies for Teacher's Day

Fortunately, between both my sons, there are only 6 teachers :p So I could afford the time to make something nice for each teacher.

These decorated cookie pops are for Teacher's Day! My elder son requested the round ones and my younger son wanted heart-shaped ones....well....that says a lot about their personality huh?

Cornflake Crunchies

This is supposed to be an all-time favourite during Chinese New Year, espeically with the kids. So I had to try making them since they are a popular fixture at homes during the festive period. I had to have it as a fixture in my home too :)

Jarfuls of Delight!

With Christmas approaching at lightning speed, what better way to spread the Christmas cheer than to give gifts that fill the tummy and put a smile on your face?

A friend of mine ordered jars and jars of various Christmas cookies to give out to friends and family (well..he did keep some of them for himself :p I would too! hahaha).

There started my baking frenzy as I baked tray after tray after tray for hours on end, to fill up those jars. Was so worried my oven wouldn't stand up to the marathon baking sessions but thankfully, my trusty oven didn't let me down!

Well, if I should say so myself....aren't these jars of cookies pretty! hee hee....

PS. if you can't already tell....i was totally enjoying filling them jars up!

Cookie Pops!

Got down to trying out cookie pops, or Cookie Bouquets. Essentially, it is a decorated cookie on a stick. Royal icing is used to the deocaration as royal icing dries hard and will be more durable when it comes to handling the cookie. You wouldn't want the decoration to get destroyed by careless hands now, would you?? These make great gifts for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Teacher's Day, heck, any day there is a celebration (or not!) there is a place for a cookie!
