    Hee, then my whole rm will have cookies smell. I dun mind if it's vanilla smell though! :P

    Yah, bobian gota use electric fan loh. Abit scare wait leave outside too long, the pests will come or my cookies will "lao hong". Think must try one dae b4 xmas. :P

    U r rite abt the loa hong... me baked my cookies abit longer, abit more brown.

    Longer u bake, cookies get more crisp & dry & last longer.

    but afterall it is cookie, not biscuit. so can't expect it to be crispy like the latter...

    looking fwd to ur creation soon :)

    a questions to all...what do you use to put icing on the cookies or cupcakes? esp Rdnest can enlighten me how you do the fine details?

    for cupcake, I use open star tip (big one, I think #47) & normal icing bag.

    squeeze in circular motion

    for cookie, me just snip off a tiny bit of the icing bag tip for outline & writing.

    snip off more to get bigger tip for piping.

    hope it helps :)

    rdnest! Ur cookies look so great! I'm thinking of doing those for xmas too. Is the royal icing hard to use, and roughly how long did it take to set? I read that it took quite awhile to set woh.

    Me did my icing in dining area w aircon. so the icing take abt 30min to harden on surface (but cannot press on, inside still soft) complete dry will take a day :)

    me use normal icing bag. Royal icing when wet is like buttercream icing - soft paste like.

    Hi Angel81

    read in ur earlier post on recipe of egg tart. the ingredient of tart shell requires 1/2 egg.

    It means half an egg or One or two eggs?

    I have tried baking egg tart ytd but used betty crocker pie mix instead .

    the premixed tart shell tasted abit saltish :P Hope to bake my own using ur given recipe.

    But the egg thing is confusing me, can enlighten me ?
