Kids' Favorite Cheddar Cheese Cookies
奶酪酥饼, 童趣

-
Yesterday, my daughter and I were shopping at a supermarket. Before checked out, as usual, I went to the magazine corner to see anything new. My girl passed me a magazine,  "Mom, can I buy it?"


I took a look at the cover, it's TEENAGER. Other than educational magazines subscribed at school, this was the first magazine she has ever asked me to buy outside the school.  There is a sweet poster inside the magazine. On one side of the poster, it's Taylor Swift, and on the other side, it's Lee Kwang Soo (in case you don't know him, he is a cast member of South Korea TV series Running Man). She brought her first entertainment magazine home happily, and read it the whole afternoon...

My girl is a preteen now.  How time flies! Looking at her baby photo on my table,  it seems like it was taken only yesterday.  Words can't really express how much happiness, pleasure and memories my girls have brought into my life. All I can say is, I grow up together with my kids. And in the process, I enjoy the every moment of being a parent.


Baking is one of the skills I developed over the years, partially for my own interest, partially for my kids. They are the ones who inspire me most of the time, especially when I  run out of baking ideas.  This Cheddar cheese cookies is my girls' second favourite cookies, just next to Famous Amos cookies.

I cut out these cookies with animal cookie cutters, and they turned out so cute.  Dancing bears and rhinoceros.  Lovely cookies for my lovely daughters, on a lovely Sunday!

    Hi there. I have came across your recipe while searching for cheese cookies. I'm wondering the cookies can be stored in airtight container at room temperature or in fridge? Need to consume within how many days?

    Hi, I store them at room temperature in a airtight container. I believe consume within a week should be fine (mine always gone in 3 days, though).

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Cake Muffins Worth Queueing for at Shunfu Market

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of
