On Wednesday in school, I learnt how to do something new - bake cookies. Normally whenever I go for recess, I would always buy a cookie and consume it, but not know how to make one. However, during the last home economics lesson I finally learnt how to make one!
When I got home, I ate a cookie, and surprisingly, it tasted better than the ones in the canteen! Perhaps it was just the flavour or maybe, its because I made the cookie myself. As we all know, food we make on our own taste exceptionally good. So then, I decided this Friday, I would make a few cookies myself!
Now finally its Friday! Which means that I am going to make a cookie! I laid all the ingredients on the table and looked at the always trustworthy recipe. I followed the steps accordingly and got all the steps right. I thought that there would be no problem as I did quite well for my first attempt in school, until, I found out that I do not have certain equipment needed! For example, I do not have the electronic mixer which was very important. Thus, I had no choice but to improvise. All of a sudden, an idea mushroomed in my head. It is not a brilliant one though, but I guess I had to make do with it.
My idea was to wait for the butter to melt and stir the mixture with a spoon. Told you it was not a bright one but I really had no choice. As there was much mixing to do, my arm soon got tired. However, I persevered and managed to get my recipe right.
In the end, what came out of the oven were freshly baked cookies. They are peanut flavoured! I shared them with my family and they all let out a string of praises. Looks like my efforts had not gone to waste!
Finally, although I encountered some problems, I still enjoyed what I had done, as it gives me a sense of achievement which I would never forget.
