MAMA CARRIES COOKIES

The texture

Mama Carries Cookies

Woke up this morning feeling a bit dizzy. But alhamdulillah everybody just wants cereal for sehri, so I don't have to do much. After Fajr Namaaz, I went to bed as I don't want to push myself too much, hoping that the dizziness will go away. When I woke up at around 6am, it's still there but I managed to get the kids ready for school on time. When hubby left for office an hour after that, I thought of lying down for a while. But then, I said to myself..the more I rest, I don't think it'll do any good. So I got up, went to the kitchen and took a GARLIC. Sliced it into thin slices, and stick them at both sides of my temple (pelipis). Left them there till they come out on their own. That's the remedy for headaches, if anybody care to give it a try!

Looking like an old lady with 'koyok' on the temple, I started sweeping and tidying up the house. And since that 'excercise' didn't work out, I tried another 'therapy' ~ BAKING. Started with croissonts (that'll be tomorrow's entry, insyaAllah) and two cookies. And wallah...it worked! The dizziness is gone! Alhamdulillah....

In the evening, I went to the clinic. Hubby wasn't feeling well and according to Dr Rita Thejopal, she said, half of the town is suffering the same symptom. It's the season where pollen are everywhere and that causes people to cough, sneeze, etc etc. After hubby had his prescription, I had asked Dr Rita to check my blood pressure. Oh oh...the result wasn't good. My bp is high (and I think I know why...better left untold!) 150 - 90. Twice she checked and it's the same. She didn't put me on any medication just yet, because she knows I hate to take medicine, but she puts me under observation. I have to come and see her again this Thursday. I'm praying hard that my bp will get back to normal so that I don't have to live with those pills! Please make duaas for me....thank you......

For Iftar today, just a very simple and fast menu....

And today's recipe, I will paste one of the cookies that I made just now. Tyha had asked for the love shape cookies, which is actually Mama Carries. I got this simple yet tasty recipe from Noni. Thanks Noni for sharing this recipe with me so that I can share with others as well....And sorry Tyha for taking such a long time to post this recipe and thank you at the same time for being so patient....

MAMA CARRIES

Ingredients :

300 g butter
400 g flour (I took out 1/4 cup)
130 g cornflour
100 g icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Topping :

1/2 egg white ~ beat till fluffy
90 g icing sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour

To scribble :

Scoop a bit of the topping above and mix with cocoa powder or you can also use chocolate emulco

Method :

1. Sift flour and cornflour. Set aside.
2. Beat butter and icing sugar till well combined. Add in vanilla essence.
3. Add in flour, bit by bit till soft dough is formed.
4. Roll dough 1/2 cm thick and cut using a heart shape cookie cutter. Arrange on a tray.
5. Using your finger, spread the topping on top of each cookie.
6. Use a clean toothpick and dip into the cocoa mixture and scribble on top of the white spread.
7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 150 C. Just use the bottom heat to ensure the top doesn't browned that much. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.

What I did...

1. I used margarine.
2. There's a lot of balance for the topping. I normally use 3/4 recipe for the topping, and that should do it.
3. For the cocoa mixture, I added a few drops of brown coloring to give it a darker color. If only I have chocolate emulco....hmmm.....

1. rossya>> Thanks kak for the duaas and advice...hari ni, kita dah jangkit kat hubby...dah start bersin dan selsemalah pulak. Tak apa, terima dengan redha! Corak atas mama carries tu, Fatin's work of art. Tapi kita punya topping tak cantiklah, bakar too long or what. Tu yang tension kalau buat mama carries ni...kenkadang cantik, kenkadang buruk je rupa dia.
2. ibu nadia>> Sadin memang my all time favourite. Senang dimasak sedap dimakan. Ibu kalau buat Mama Carries tu, jaga sikit tang api, guna api bawah je ye, kalau tak nanti topping dia tak cantik cam mama punya tu ha...tak lawa. 1 adunan leh dapat lebih kurang 60 ke 70 keping.
