Ah Christmas... A time when we have jazzy music in the background playing while we eat, laugh and exchange gifts with our friends and family.
You know, I always have a hard time thinking of what Christmas gifts to get, so I thought of baking some cookies to give as gifts this time round. Besides, it's always a plus point when you tell people you made the cookies yourself!
After watching the episode where Claire from "5 Ingredients Fix" (Wednesdays, 10am on ntv7) made these tea cookies, I jumped online and found this: Earl Grey Shortbread Cookie Recipe--a simple enough recipe and pretty straightforward to do.
Within 5 minutes, I was writing down the list of items I had to buy. But being on a tight budget meant I had to forgo the Earl Grey tea leaves since I wasn't going to buy a pack of tea leaves just to bake. I made my list, checked it twice and popped over to the grocery store right after to get my necessities: butter, flour, sugar, vanilla essence and salt.
In total I took about over 2 hours to bake, but that was because I didn't have a food processor and it took a little longer than the suggested time for the dough to set in the fridge. Otherwise, this cookie is really easy to make and it'll definitely carve a smile on someone's face.
And here's a Merry Christmas to every single one of you reading this blog, I hope this post helped you if you're also cracking your head on what Christmas gifts to get. If all else fails, why not try this recipe cause it definitely worked for me :)
p/s: I wonder if anyone noticed the sous chef outfit I'm in. Anyone want to take a guess who inspired that outfit? Hint: She's a sous chef from "The Avilon".
